"There is no doubt that the price of assets right now is a question mark... and ultimately when Central Banks stop manipulating markets where that price goes is up for grabs... and probably points down"

 

As Gross tweeted...

This clip carries a public wealth warning...

The man has the balance of a circus rope walker, managing the largest long bond fund on one hand while dumping all bonds on the other.

he reads zero hedge. who does he have for staff at this point? one of the posters here is my guess.
he is fumbleing for ways to donate money, it is fun to give away money as you walk around in the real regular world, which I suppose he does not do.
why does he not talk about the bright future of the dollar?

Once they start they almost never stop until it explodes in an end game similar to what is playing out in Venezuela right now.  That's why it's called "QE to infinity"

Since I'm early on the board, serious question...

My dad works for ExxonMobil. He's 61, can retire, and whatnot. All of his 401k is EOM stock. So, what should he do? Should he stick with the company, and continue to have a steady paycheck that is still pulling a nice chunk of change, or retire, and cash out?

Honest help is really appreciated!

keep working to make money as long as it pays well.

definitely diversify.  i'd sell it all personally, which I doubt he would, but I am sure you can convince him to at least diversify.  As you get close to retirement, you shouldnt want 100% equity, even if you believe mainstream economic points of view, let alone all in on one stock.  recipe for disaster when hard times come.

Wed, 07/29/2015 - 14:46 | 6368024 wcvarones

They don't allow him to diversify his 401k while he's still working?

That's insane and I have a hard time believing that's the case.

I think there is some diversification options into bonds, but I believe it is pretty limited.

Sprintjump - This isnt a lot of information to make a serious recommendation. Does your Dad even want to retire? 61 isnt that old, does he have hobbies or other goals to keep him busy? How comfortable will he be for the next 25 years or so he is alive on a pension, investments and SS?

IMHO oil is down because of excessive supply by the Saudis despite worldwide deflation.  Increased output (Saudis have actually increased their pumping) despite lesser demand.  Just politics.  That said I seriously doubt technology is at a stage where alternative energy can replace oil.  Most of our energy needs are still met by oil.  There's no alternative energy which is as cheap or as efficient.

@sprintjump Google a thing called "Net Unrealized Appreciation."  Sometimes it is better to distribute company stock to a non-qualified account and pay long term cap gains vs. ordinary income.  Taxes are calculated on the cost basis of the shares.  Or, tell him to go see a CFP.

You Dumb Ass. You blew all your Credibility on ZH.(sorry)

I will still respect you without fucking you, but my harsh words might be just from the fact that I have been drinking.

- Yes, Sell the XOM Stock
- He doesn't need to worry about stocks in his Retirement, even though his is an expert of a sort in Oil stocks, just get rid of the risk and unknown by selling XOM

- Retirement is about Mental Condition
- Is your father depressed, obsessed, or uncomfortable working at Exxon?
- Look if his job is killing him, there is another life waiting for him outside of Exxon, but... you have to know that retirement from career is often associated with death
- Maybe you should force your father into classes or seminars or therapy of some kind if he has spend 20 years or more in the military or the oil corporation... the classes can help him to find his soul or his other interests before he feels alone and a failure...

Edit: Sorry was drinking at the time. Others have posted better remarks before me,... and I edited the Acronym for Exxon in my post.

CBs stop manipulating when they commit reserves to IMF, and get drawing rights to SDR. are they sovereign assets? if the fed is independent i would say not, and the fed would get really powerful despite dancing to the IMFs tune, which is largely controlled by the US. the virtuous circle of Treasury, Fed and Banks, to perform monetization of debt gets a little more complicated. what happens when the fed tries to buy assets (QE) with allocated SDRs? will the IMF be okay with it? the SDR will replace the (petro) dollar, how do these SDRs juice the market higher. Gross just isnt telling you everything. if the Fed is not independent, the conversion will be pretty seamless, and that is the truth. the us government is manipulating markets, and janet just works for them.

I'm pretty sure Bill Gross isn't doing all he can with his wealth and Influence to change or Reform the System.

FUCK Bill Gross.

I don't Like to Cuss or use bad words. But the USA has been lost to Wealthy Interests of which Bill Gross is now a part.

In Feudalism three estates of the realm: the nobility, the clergy, and the peasantry bound by manorialism... in Inverted Totalitarianism we just Expand the Estates with the Press(MSM), the Wealthy & Lobbyists(foreign & Domestic), and Complicate things with Social Engineering, Propaganda, Control of Information & Data Gathering, and Domestic Spying and hidden power over people through coercion and blackmail and ambition to keep job and get promotions and bonus money since all are debt slaves(90%).

Say what you like about Bill Gross, this isn't the first time he has spelled out an inconvenient truth about his industry.  He made the cnbc pumper like like a jerk.

A public figure who seems to be speaking honestly - he must be sick or on something- that doesn't happen.

Look, what he said is not exactly good sales material for his or any other fund. Three thumbs up.

Say, that reminds me.  Did you know that...

In a recent interview with ESPN's Gary Miller, Chicago Cubs outfielder Moises Alou revealed that during baseball season he urinates on his hands to toughen them up. Alou, one of the few major leaguers who doesn't wear gloves while batting, is backed up by Yankees catcher Jorge Posada, who says, "You don't want to shake my hand during spring training."

Hey Bill?  Don't pea on me and tell me it's raining.

Central banks and large financial institutions will NEVER stop manipulating.  They make too much money doing so, and have no reason to stop until they see the guillotines.

But sheeple are now too stupid to do that, so humans are finished.

They'll steal others and make them go broke well before they do. And they write the laws which they shuffle through Washington.
