re: 2 year inverted yield curve
Posted by Crescent Connection on 4/22/24 at 9:44 am
I'm racking my brains over this. I'm 39. Tempted to put all future 403b/401k contributions for my wife and I into money market/cash starting this week with the anticipation of a hard recession similar to 2007-2009. I would not touch all current investments. Reassess 14-18 months out? Wise or foolish...

Reminds of Western Alliance Bank (WAL) last March 2023 when Silicon Valley Bank started the chain reaction of bank collapses. WAL went from $75 to $8, and eventually rebounded back to $40-65 in a few months. I wonder if this plays out the same. ...

Prep before laying Empire Zoysia
Posted by Crescent Connection on 3/29/24 at 8:55 am
Can anyone recommend a brand of glyphosate or any other herbicide I can readily buy to nuke my yard before laying sod. I'm expecting a couple pallets of empire zoysia sometime next week and wanted to prep my yard today and tomorrow.
From previous threads, my understanding is that I can spray gly...
re: 401k - Northwestern Mutual
Posted by Crescent Connection on 3/25/24 at 9:26 am
I think this allocation for anyone under 55 would bode well…
25% growth
20% S&P
20% mid-cap
20% small-cap
15% international
Whatever funds your plan offers, break it down into those segments. I was on the fence with international, but they are highly undervalued right now. ...
re: Best Crawfish/PoBoys - Lafayette
Posted by Crescent Connection on 3/21/24 at 9:38 pm
I’ll give another vote to BJ’s Po’boys in Broussard. I think they have the best traditional fried shrimp po’boy in the region, and slightly better than Old Tyme even though it’s the same owners (different cooks/frying oil is what I chalk it up to).
LT’s for crawfish.

Where to purchase zoysia sod in Lafayette
Posted by Crescent Connection on 3/16/24 at 11:27 am
Looking for recommendations on where to purchase zoysia sod in the Lafayette area. My backyard needs a redo, and after reading some previous posts, seems like Palisades Zoysia is the turf to get for my home. 75% of the backyard is in full sun, with 25% in partial to full shade due to house layout. I...
