[quote=markmax33][quote=sdrealtor]While getting punished by the low rate environment my mothers portfolio returned about 15% last year by investing in stable high dividend fortune 500 companies. I dont know that she will ever recover from that beating….snark off.[/quote]
How much did she lose in 2008? Snark off? Come seriously? I thought I was junior person on this board. I have to tell 60 years olds beginning retirement advice? You are not supposed to be heavily weight in stocks as you get towards retirement. Just because your mother is lucky for a year you call that a trend?[/quote]
IIRC, sdr’s mother is in her eighties and sdr is managing her portfolio, lol. Perhaps I have this incorrect??
