Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
Although not likely providing a match for Treasury yields, we will remain with FZDXX MMKT for parking our cash. We already have too many other non-investment areas to deal with, requiring our time. AH, to be much younger again.
Interesting from a few days back in this thread regarding banks pulling or not adding some CD's for purchase at the brokerages. Without a doubt, they are trying to decide too, what will be taking place with FED actions and rates within the next 1 ye…
As 'Roseanne Roseannadanna' (portrayed by the late, great Gilda Radner) was known for saying in the 1970's SNL news: "...it just goes to show you, it's always something — if it ain't one thing, it's another."
Staying with thoughts and reactions of …
I'll add this from a 2019 post. A lot to chew, is you're curious. Link in the word "post" below.
From my March, 2019 post regarding yield curve perspective from Campbell Harvey, Duke University, which includes several study links.

Would be a bit strange to not allow Ukraine officials to be part of the investigation and/or the forensics of the site.
Numerous articles here about this topic. The articles listed from various sources have some conflict in their repo…

November 16 overnight UPDATE: Accident.
'Course, the accident could have been avoided; if Ukraine wasn't force to defend itself from incoming missile attacks. More of the sad side of WAR.
Article here.
@Crash
So, what kind of knee jerk reaction would you make,if you didn't yet have all of the facts; if you were the "Decider"???
Would you not want the forensic information that will be available at the site. It's about 3am in Poland. Full darkness d…
BNN update:
Watched the Latvian defense minister speak several hours ago, but this is the first online mention. He discussed protecting air space, which I don't find in this write.
Hi @yogibearbull
I can try that, too. I've not had a problem loading "Permalink" before with the chart I posted. Something wasn't happy with my pc or their system at the time. I wanted to show the extreme swings from the Covid spring 2020 until now.…
@Sven et al
This chart is TBT (bond bear, yields going higher etf) vs TMF (bond bull, yields going lower etf). For whatever reason, the chart will not allow me to set the dates I want to use.
So, at the chart bottom where the number of chart days is…
When I view a speaker or see a topic/info on the sidebar, when watching Bloomberg, I make a note of the person or topic. I know I mostly will be blocked for more with Bloomberg, U.S. I wait a day or two and then use the "search" at BNN for this info…
Hi @Sven et al
The current % data is two weeks after the first data reported in the October 24- October 28 period of this thread. As the current large price percent gains are likely mostly reflected from a more favorable CPI report (FED backing off?…
Hi @rono et al
As the "D's" will be the Senate majority by virtue of the Nevada vote, I do believe that the "R's" who voted for Walker in GA, in an attempt to have that seat be "R"; will now abandon that vote in the December run off; giving Warnock …
A bit late, but if you want to look at some prior week numbers. Various contributors here have expressed reasons for lower yields last week. Lower CPI may have been largest push for lower yields, but; not unlike the markets in general, the bond area…
Michigan 2018, Proposal 2, redistricting to be performed by "a citizens group" of the state and not by elected politicians. 2018 passage would allow for 2020 census data to be used in order to have redistricting in place for upcoming elections. Of c…

We're all fortunate individuals like him are here to help us learn about the today's and remember the past, too.
Thanks, OJ. We're pleased at this house. We placed a fair amount of monies behind candidates in several states.
Some trinkets in the below link, although the write is a few days old and the numbers weren't finalized for some areas.
A few highlight…
Hi @Junkster
I read your post before the delete. Nothing you wrote was out of bounds here.
Discussions about investing are the forerunners of making decisions about trades; be they CD's, MMKT funds, traditional mutual funds, plain vanilla etf's, se…
Hi @yogibearbull
I was aware of protections with active 401K/403B accounts, but was not aware that possible similar protections may apply to rollovers into a T-IRA account.
Thank you.

I'll pick this thread again to place a link for a quick view of multiple etf returns for November 10, or for whatever day you use the link.

At Fidelity: The standard core MMKT's of SPAXX and FDRXX (common temporary parking spots from sales, and then awaiting the next purchase) are paying a 3.24% yield.
FZDXX is a premium MMKT that must be purchased, is paying a 3.69% yield.…
Not Buy/Sell, but this thread is currently a popular watering hole. So, I add this for those who may not be aware: From an internal note at Fidelity:
On Friday, November 11, Fidelity Investor Centers, along with all major stock markets will be open…
Post U.S. elections, +1 day, doesn't mean much in the long term, but today's market actions may be interesting. Many global markets are decently higher overnight.
FINVIZ futures at 9am, EST. ....... Equity and Bonds strongly higher.

Off-topic, has a particular electronic home here; but off-topic in the human race resides in the minds of those so inclined.
And as OJ stated, "terribly important", the vote.
I've not missed a vote since I was first eligible, in 1968.
Lastly, the…
Gett'in tired of the tv ads, eh? I receive about 5 emails (spam folder) each day.
If you want to provide me with enough personal data, I do believe I can build a case for you; and perhaps get a bit of cash flow, too. I was well trained in the Air Fo…

Regarding your reply and questions to Jim0445. He/she may not view this message thread again, to know you've written to he/she. However, if you place a @ symbol at their "name", as I have with you; they should receive an email notice, f…
I agree with Mark, Your wit shines with the title.
Thank you much, OJ; for keeping us up to speed.

Glad to read you've recovered from the crud. And thank you for the info regarding the hip replacement. We're not in line for that, but periodically know folks who are; and I was not aware of the method you wrote about.
AND, at least in our…

Thanks for the follow up info. I am familiar with the mix in Paxlovid, as several folks I know have used the product.
