I picked up some Series I bonds in lieu of a 1-year CD for some extra cash I have sitting around but didn't necessarily want to dump into my index funds at the moment. The interest rate, even if it only lasts for 6 months, is hard to beat for any other safe investment.

I guess that they're running out of rich suckers to buy their overpriced exercise equipment?

Rich people who would spend a gajillion on a bike with “interaction” but can’t get motivated to pursue a goal like being able to do 150 reps of push ups with no break.

Came here to lol at PTON, too late it seems.
Push-ups aren’t really comparable to cycling …

Other people's problems I guess. I got athlete's genes so I have no worries about weight gain and the baggage that comes with it unlike the rich piggies who need to buy a bike with extras. Only thing that I need to obtain are strength and endurance.

I wouldn't worry about Ponyo unless we suddenly find out that Tesla is running a giant meth lab in the basement of their gigafactories and the stock price drops to dollar overnight.

Bad news then, push-ups won’t help you with strength. But you probably know that, aren’t you like 120 pounds? I’d lose muscle mass quickly if I wasted time on push-ups. Just a rich piggy I guess with two grand worth of squat rack and another two grand peloton in the other room
Fiancee has really been enjoying the Peloton for training over the winter cold months. She’s doing a 192 mile two day charity ride this summer for the second time.
Doesn’t mean they’re capable of actually making money. Betting on more Americans exercising is never a good idea.

I want to pull the plug on Netflix. They keep charging more so they can finance a gargantuan amount of content I have no interest in viewing.

you might want to look into municipal (muni) bonds. These are usually free of state, federal and local taxes. It's a good way to fluff up their yields. I haven't looked, but I have no doubt that there are multiple mutuals and/or ETFs that would serve this purpose. And if you're worried about liquidity, ease of access, etc - probably one or more specific to your jurisdiction.
Of course there is significantly more risk but from my personal point of view, it's not unlike the difference in odds of dying in plane crash vs. being hit by a meteor/meteorite.

I already hold a fair amount of VMATX - Massachusetts municipal bond fund - for it's double tax free earnings as a Massachusetts resident. I didn't want to add more to that, and though the dividends are good, the Series I bonds right now will make as much as that fund puts out with just a fraction of the capital.

I'm hoping I can get through the continued dips until next week when the fed meeting happens. It should remove the uncertainty that markets truly hate.
I do have a stop limit on a good chunk of VTI. 700 shares at $220. If it happens, it happens. I have much more currently exposed to this volatility.
None of what I play with is tied to retirement accounts. That stuff I purposely set and forget.

Very Unlikely unless/until the Fed admits they aren't going to raise rates. The odds suggest that the theoretical hikes won't start until next time (March). What would make sense is if stocks continue to drift downward until the March meeting, then rally when they don't raise.

I feel that the fed meeting will have a huge impact next week. People are putting money on the sidelines. Any bit of certainty is going to help facilitate a move of that money.
Another big thing is the reaction of the fed in light of the markets making corrections based only on that uncertainty/speculation of the rate hikes. I don't see how they can ignore what's currently going on.
