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.
Actually, I have a lot more problems with the original OP than the way he said it. First, he cites FED funds rate, but his examples are all over the board intermediate bonds. Did these funds see a 2.5% rise in their yields? I don't think so. Sec…
Asking this question under two hats, one personal and the other for a non-profit organization. We both have had investments in Certificates of Deposit that have/will mature in the coming months. The question is what do we do with the available cas…
Disgusting swamp goo.
I agree. I wasn't in that meeting but I sold most of my portfolio(all bond funds) at the end of 02/2020 documented (here).
But, the following (link) is also a disgusting swamp goo and we can call it Joe Quid pro quo.

@Old_Joe Give the man credit- right or wrong he's not pussyfooting around with "ifs, ands, or buts". I've got to respect that.
Why is blind fanaticism to be respected? Belief without rational cause is interesting from a psychological perspective,…
All the information I have read is the debt will only be managed, never paid off. COVID was certainly no help requiring the first $2t and then another $2t coming up.
Mike Wallace kind of got his head handed to him on a platter in the first debate. Highly capable. I thought he’d fare better. But moderating these things seems like an impossible job. As good as Jim Lehrer was, he more or less lost control of one…
Funny how the rich get blamed for not paying more taxes. The IRS has nothing to do except collect taxes. Why is so little said about the scumbags in congress that set the tax code up the way it is? Biden has been involved in that for 47 years. Why c…
Okay, so I started an apolitical travel thread a couple of weeks ago that everyone seemed to like, so I'd like to start another. If someone was traveling to your town, what little known attraction would you recommend? Could be a restaurant, hike, go…
Isn't everyone in this country able/required to be educated or at least attend a school to accept education if they do the work? Last I checked it was a law that children attend school. Or are you saying that some places have bad teachers? Is there …
@FD1000 - How do you know that everyone else isn't investing for TR as well using their dividends as just one piece of the equation? What if they aren't comfortable or knowledgeable enough to be trading in and out of positions? Or simply don't have …
Ray Dalio certainly is no radical idealist, but in his frequent writings and media appearances the veteran investor consistently calls for Americans to rewrite their longstanding contract with capitalism so that it is fairer and more generous to mor…
There will be a vaccine in the next 6 months and it will be a requirement for hiring. Plenty of businesses will need staffing. In 2023 COVID-19 will be forgotten.
Interesting that off-topic is still being discussed in a non off-topic forum.
davidmoran:"important to remember Old_Skeet's and then FD1000's goal was to silence political discussions by trolling the site with ones from dubious rightwing sources. …
Blame their parents. Not sure why the parents had success guilt and coddled their kids growing up. Not much was ever expected from them. I witnessed first hand many instances.
sure hope people watched rms tonight w strzok
sobering stuff, guest so good, smart and knowledgeable and measured

I missed it. Did he tell the truth about the fake dossier?
Yawn!

President Trump …
No troll here but your post is a fitting example of the mindset opposing President Trump’s second term as POTUS - “all opinions welcome (as long as they fit our fear of President Trump; if not, you must be a troll)!”
LOL, y’all have created quite t…
So, watched the RNC convention last night flipping between FOX and MSNBC. I suggest this exercise to anyone who does not fully appreciate the division in the country or what Trump means when he says "fake news." I was blown away, for example, by …
And who would call themselves a “mines engineer”? Wouldn’t the proper title be mining engineer? He scolded me for reading the [“hard right - bible loving”] Republican led Intel report instead of thinking for myself.
Colorado School of Mines is a…
And where jobs are created in the last several weeks relatively? not in the high crime cities run by Dems and definitely not downtown Chicago, Portland and Seattle where they defunded the police. I "love" Libs, all my family are Libs and I tell the…
Donald might well be elected again, exactly as he was in 2016: by swing-state Democrats who have had enough. And, Old_Skeet is one of them as I have had enough of the liberal dems. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/theyre-angry-not-stupid-why-tr…
Typical dimwit DemocRAT pick...pandering for the black & female vote. This after she called him a racist & all kindsa things during the debates....funny how that all works. She's no dummy, she knows if creepy senile Joe wins that she will be…
Been like that for over a year. The "Quote" page is only in the "new" M*, but with a link to the old (legacy) M* the Chart, Portfolio etc. pages view in the legacy version. The legacy M* is available in the version at libraries.
Evidently some of us actually like being lied to. "Please, Mr. President, can you tell us another one?"
"If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor". Whoops, sorry. Wrong guy.
CJ. Wait until the debate.....
