Hello,

I had been wondering about the phrase "fixed income" for sometime. Many times this phrase is used to indicate a retired person's income or an income of person who earns less. For example, I heard some story on radio and someone said I can not afford proposed tax because I am on fixed income. While I understand meaning of not able to afford, as it might strain/change your budget, why the words fixed income?Almost all the salaried people are also on "fixed income" - that is their income does not change from pay check to pay check or at least not significantly. Are these people not on fixed income? Any change in above cases is also going to impact them, but if we assume that those who have jobs are earning better impact of change will be less. Still they are also on fixed income. Is this just a convention to indicate low levels of income or it has other basis?

Please help

Hello,

It's become fashionable around here to say fixed income is neither fixed nor income.The expression refers to coupons of plain vanilla bonds (no weird terms and conditions, T&C).Under that constraint, the coupons are fixed, and they are income.We can argue over whether a bond fund should be described that way, or for that matter a personally-managed rolling bond ladder (which works out the same), but the term fixed income has good reasons behind it, that reflect the underlying structure of bonds, which are contracts for the exchange of money over time.Should anybody mistake capital for income, let them post in this thread so we can talk about it.

Hello,

I am becoming interested in financial statements - it's actually quite fun when you begin to see how things fit together within a statement or across different statements. I remember when I was at university people thought that accountancy is really boring, but it does not seem to be that way to me now! So I was wondering how you learned about financial statement and analysis Whether you have some books / courses to suggest: They are the more fun, the better!

Hello,

I used to be a stock picker before discovering bogleheadism. I would pore over SEC 10-Q forms to try to find bargains. I believe that was called "investing through fundamental analysis". Then Burton Malkiel showed me how that whole thing is flawed, that you just can not beat the market with technical analysis, fundamentals, charting, momentum, whatever. It does not work. So now that I am an investor, I discover that there seems to be a rush to investing factor. But after looking at it and reading posts here, it smells an awful lot like "fundamental analysis" to me. So what do you give? Why could not I beat the market by picking stocks using fundamentals but now I can beat the market with indexes built around factors? What am I missing?

HI,

When I worked for huge companies, I had a company credit card. I have had Mastercards, Visas, and American Express. In most cases, you could spend whatever on the card, and submit an expense report. Assuming you spent it on approved items (travel, company luncheons, petty cash purchases, etc), the company either paid your card directly or paid you by check and you paid the cardMy GC is considering giving me one. Some issues came up over the last job site that kind of made not having a company card a problem (I can't go into it, but it had to do with proving I worked for the company and was good for the money). My credit rating is pretty bad, though, due to all my medical bills and various financial issues (but no liens, bankruptcies, unpaid taxes, or other garnishments; nothing heavy). I haven't had a card in over 6 years, so I am wondering if this matters before I bring it up to him. Credit rating is in the high 500s Thoughts?

Please help.
