It was bloodyIt's going to be a good buying day today. Need to get them in before the dividend date.

The S&P is still 15% higher than it was at the beginning of the pandemic. QQQ is even higher at 25%. As I've been saying there's no justification for anywhere near these price levels without the money printer.
Yeah, but morans keep buying anyway.
Whadaya gonna do?
make money the easy way
1% increase today?
It's going to be all about what he says for a reading on future guidance.The odds are .75 and Powell rarely surprises.
Anyone think six month treasuries are looking decent? 3.9ish%, and don't have to lock money away for two years while rates continue to climb. Already maxed out my I-bonds. The only consideration is losing buying opportunities through March, but there's other money for that ...
I dunno. Powell insists they are not slowing down until inflation goes to two, so we may see another big hike before year end.
i've given up on returns being good for this decade
but i hope things get better in the 2030s
I wish I had cashed in My VGCX stock back when it was in the 14 range but I got greedy. I was waiting for it to go to 15+. Or at least around that range. It's at 7.51 now. I put a lot of money into that one too... like 3 grand.
Thats a tough one. Gold, silver, etc have not benefited from runaway inflation. That stock has a very low pe ratio and is a long term survivor. I also see its thinly traded. You can call it dead money until the demand for gold returns.

One thing to keep in mind is that while a bear market can be miserable, history has shown exiting a bear market provides strong gains at the onset of a new bull market.The 2 year treasury looks very tempting. You can get a 2 year ETF, with a growing yield, and be able to jump out whenever you want.

There’s no chance I’d buy two years directly though, only six months. I think there’s going to be too much opportunity over the next couple years to waste money on locking in a measly 4%.
