I concur
Not now but if things continue to cool off please rally my bonds
Unlikely, govco can't afford the interest payments. In ten months we get a new fed chair, hand picked to lower rates. Because like a good banana republic for about 3 years now the treasury has been issuing almost nothing but short term paper. So the easiest way to lower interest payments is now to lower the short end. My guess is JP will do it long before that actually - but he needs to hold just a few more months so the inflation will be on the next guys watch.I concur
And who will buy all this low yield paper - well if buyers don't come the fed will directly monetize it. But they will give it some fancy name - like Open Market Not Monetizing Action - OMNMA. Pronounced "Omna." They will bandy it about on CNBC like its always been a thing.
Unlikely. See post 7275. IMHO.
You mean there’s a chance?
Ha ha.
Yes between here and there you could easily get a rally. But when we do I wouldn’t continue to hold them - If they were mine of course, you do you. I think long term the long end trend is higher yields. The amount of debt dictates this.

I don't really care. Just hold until maturity anyway, but love to trade funds and sell covered calls
I assume then that anything you have is < 5 year maturity or so.
Bond funds scare me, not with what they hold today, but if the bond market throws a tantrum when the other investors redeem they have to sell what they can, not what they want to, leaving the fund with a steaming pile and not much else.
Yeah yeah. That's a given. Trade is the key word
PCE release today. Prices are rising, income is falling. Bold was theirs so I left it.

Obviously you didn't get the jist as I didn't go into any specific details...
I'm not new to the stock market. I made money yesterday did you ? Your question is rather disparaging and uncalled for.
Not interested in pursuing this further. Thank you.
I always make healthy money at the month end but yes my equities were up
That dip - mid day was it? I didn’t trade it as I was walking jaws. By the way some lady was hitting on me. Sorry oh yea I got back in time to sell 10 in the money covered calls way out of range. Some fat cash there.
Anyway normal for ME is not making money every day but I’m sure glad that is your norm. Keeps you from being so darn grumpy

It's not about getting pocket change daily...if I'm up enough on a stock and I'm happy with that amount I will flip it instead of waiting longer and although I may not get the big score I'm happy.
Before I buy I already have a $$$ figure I want in my head and I'm happy with that and walk away.
With seesaw stocks like PLTR it goes up and down wildly daily and when it peaks it usually quickly tanks $5- $10 a share and back again.
Why go on the crazy ride when you don't have too. Money in the bank and move on or buy again.
Everybody plays their own game.
When I go against my instincts I usually fail.

I’m looking at your philosophy and there is something to be said for huge dollars, large volume, dime moves on singular stocks. It is something my diversified portfolio doesn’t have.
