@Omega Male - Are pharma costs broken out in that report? The company I worked for was seeing huge jumps in 2012 for pharma and I can only assume it is still a huge YoY jump.

It's also when people go to the doctor and something get's missed. Now that person wants to sue the **** out of them to make up for it. In response, the doctor is going to order every test possible to CYA.

Yep.

It’s a multi factorial answer. One is actually improving and that would be practitioners getting better access to an entire medical record vs the extreme silo nature it’s always been in the US.

What's the best high-yield savings account?

 

[Omega Male]

Have seen CIBC, Marcus, Ally and Barclays mentioned here before.

Some of you mopes shamed me into finding one for my emergency cash reserves over the summer. I picked CIT Bank.

I recently moved to CIT and like the way you can separate accounts and rename them.

Marcus here.

 

[patrickBOOTH]

Thanks folks.

I use HSBC Direct, which is still over 2% despite lots of rate cuts. I bank with HSBC, so it makes life even easier to instantly move money.

My gambling on selling my EM position due to a possible correction never materialized. I said my re-entry would be 10% above selling price which it is close to. Will tuck my tail and rebuy while missing out on a 4-figure jump...ouch!

When the correction comes right after you buy back in, make sure to average down.

if you didn't think it was worth it at the old price, why enter at an even higher price?

Actually thinking of adding to my EM position. Any outperformance in that area based on my old small allocation was just a blip to the overall portfolio.

Gotta set parameters for reentry and 10% up was one of them. The other 2 were big decreases in EMs or the S&P

I tend to fix my allocation and leave it well alone until it swings about 5% in any direction
