OT: Stock and Investment Talk

Buying what, volatility ETFs? If you’re buying the market when the vix is 17 and selling when it’s 30 you’re likely taking a massive loss LOL
NO...... much safer to take the approach of insurance companies with their index IUL's.

SPX options....
 
in terms of yield wouldn’t a money market fund net around the same as a HYSA?
I haven’t checked HYSA rates lately but my MMs are yielding close to 4.5% and I have the ability to put that cash to work in the market at anytime. So, it Gives me a higher rate than a HYSA plus flexibility. And if I need cash I simply do a MM to bank transfer.
 
MSFT to 350 within a year a possibility again. Seemed like an impossibility until Chat GPT started writing code…among other things.

awful

internally I'm hearing, 'are you kidding me'
What's so awful about it? Seems like a non-government solution to a private sector problem. Only government involvement seems to be helping to coordinate the various entities involved.

Also, I'm still waiting to hear what your approach to keeping 6 or low 7 figure funding available to use at any instant without being at risk of an inopportune timing loss, and that remains ahead of the inflation curve. You said that's what you do, so please share how.

I am not any kind of economics or finance or market expert. So educate me, please.
 
Usually smooth and easy Charles Payne goes off

“They keep talking about going after millionaires and billionaires but every chance they get, they save them.”

 
I can’t believe everyone is actually falling for this. The whales will be able to get out with gains after all.
Just like Peter Thiel and VCs causing the run on SVB and wiping out all shareholders? LOL.

Anyone can sell BTC and take profit as they see fit.

🤣

Incredibly moronic take by him. Nobody, in this admin at least, is doing anything with the primary goal being to “save billionaires”.

They’re afraid of the trickle down affect and how they will lay off the little people.
 
Financials repricing the new reality. PNC looks good but waiting till the financials stop going down. I guess most of them will cut their dividends. AXP probably a good buy but will probably hit the 52 week low before it bottoms. Some of the industrials coming down fast but were overpriced.

Did some modest buying of funds/etfs to maintain allocations. VTV, VIG, VB, VONE, DODGX. Positioned some of our new cash to the appropriate accounts, so this is ready to go whenever the time comes.

All things considered, pretty good week.

No, but just like Peter Thiel got his money out before SVB went under, the whales will sell before the next BTC sell off.
 
@RUTGERS95 as a treasuries amateur, what is the volitility about over the past 2 days? I comprehend the drop from 500 to 420 but whats with the bounces between about 380 and 415?
 
No, but just like Peter Thiel got his money out before SVB went under, the whales will sell before the next BTC sell off.
So BTC is just like every other investment option out there? Thanks for the insights! LOL.
 
"Economists are now estimating that 186 banks may be prone to the same risks as Silicon Valley Bank, per WSJ. This number is likely even higher as the pressures that regional banks are facing are ramping up. The government has put itself in a spot where they must backstop all banks for now. What they did for SVB must be done for everyone until panic subsides. Costly is an understatement."

Midsize US Banks Ask FDIC to Insure Deposits for Two Year​



Warnings were issued long before any Ukraine business:

New York CNN Business —

Larry Summers is urging Washington to tap the brakes on stimulus — or risk unleashing a serious burst of inflation.

“I think policy is rather overdoing it,” Summers said in recorded comments at a CoinDesk conference that were released Wednesday. “The sense of serenity and complacency being projected by the economic policymakers, that this is all something that can easily be managed, is misplaced."

Larry Summers sends stark inflation warning to Joe Biden​

 

Did you see UBS wants to be able to cancel the deal if the CDS goes above 100? That's a deal killer imo.

Now the swiss gov't is floating the idea of nationalizing the bank. Lots of negotiating left before futures open tonight!

No secret that COVID stimulus was always somewhat a Keynesian experiment. Stimulus during the Great Recession due to the Global Financial-fraud Crisis in ‘08 was very modest by comparison and the resulting inflation proved to be transitory by any measure.
