I can only wish you and your family to stay healthy! And avoid buses...

Ah! Humor used well in a foreign language tells me you do just fine with English!

Your post makes sense to me, and I confess I loved my brief stint of mechanical investing, but volatility is not the friend of a successful marriage in this family. The ups were more numerous than the downs, giving us a very nice end to one heck of an investing roller coaster ride via mechanical investing, but DH is not particularly a fan of volatility. Only vanilla investing from here on out, no shorting of stock. With no earned income to resupply buying power in case of a down market, retirement investing for us must be more conservative.

It's very cool however how two people look to use indexing in very different ways.
