Demand for which?

2 year? Not surprising.

10 year? Low demand, even lower issuance, still rising. Very odd I agree.

2 exactly

Probably a good play...curious that my FSELX is up 25% since April 17 when I bought it.
On the otherhand my $100K: GLD, SLV, CENX, REMX, COPX, SLX, GLTR, SPCX are down 15% since April. I refuse to buy high sell low. And the $65K GLD/SLV profit I took in Feb doesn't hurt much. .

I think my $45K in REMX, GLTR, GLD, SLV will do do good in the next 2 years and if not...meh. that 100K is my "fun money" even though I am not well to do in the slightest. But I am very "comfortable"

I think in the near term I will shed most of my CDs and just do the IBonds

Surprised me this am so I sold half

Wild trader @Zee09 would be proud!

I mean i thought the IPO Price was fair enough valuation but completely fell off that now boom

SO.............. Who is into "Covered Call ETF's". Specifically QQQI.

I see it as a easy way for some income, some growth, all at very favorable tax treatments.

Current yeild is 14%. ( 1.16% paid monthly.)

I threw $250k at it..... to test it out for while. Yeilds about $3k per month.

NAV and Distribution seem steady. So far, so good.
Thoughts?

According to Grant's the sweet spot in the bond market is selected lower rated corporates like B to BB+. I've been looking at high yield corporate CEF's today. I found four with negative z-scores and larger than 3 yr average discounts. These are also Morningstar 4 or 5's as well. Reasonable volatility for these type funds from the Max charts at least for my purposes. I'm just looking to spice up my overall yield a little at the margin. These will be a small allocation for me. I picked out BLW, AWF, GHY, and HYT. Thoughts would be appreciated. I currently hold RCTIX also.

Did you throw a bit at it at the end of March?

TIPS are popular with me. I just picked up some 7yr ones at a fixed yield of 2.078%. 9 year ones are at 2.223%. Good investing to all.

I hold my "safe" money in the flex fund BINC. It does fluctuate for sure, but medium to long run it will go up and up. Great fund manager too.

Incidentally, Rieder was recently one of the three Fed Chair candidates, along with Hassett and Warsh.

BINC is interesting. They own everything from AAA to below B. Top 10 holdings are Fannie Maes and Republic of Italy and Spain stuff. Morningstar has them below average risk for their category. Current yield 5.13% is good too. Again interesting.
