But the Kitchen Sink is made up of brilliant minds. Why not throw the Kitchen Sink in there as well as another force to keep the economic expansion going, huh?
 
Kitchen Sink quantitative easing: print money for us, and we will promise to spend it for ourselves. LOL
 
Checked in on Chipotle just to laugh at myself again for selling when it was at $146.30.
 
Who knows anything about the good and bad of Bond ETFs? Specifically buying a Treasury bond ETF vs. buying treasury bonds directly for a low risk place to hold money medium term (couple years) with liquidity being desired.
 
That sounds about right. I had some losses that, if you can believe it, were recouped from riding Ford from ~$11 to ~$15. So, there's one I'm glad I didn't hang onto.

I don't know if you're aware that treasuries are taking a tumble, continued sell-off last week.
 
So... any suggestions where to park some cash while waiting for the market to crater? I'm not very excited with the 2% or so from the money market.
 
Lotta people from 2008 woulda loved that 2% instead of what they got, or rather, lost.

Nowhere to make guaranteed over 2%, fed rate dropping has hurt most guaranteed return options.

We're stuck in QE environment where massive quantities of money borrowed at ridiculously low interest rates have driven up every asset. The Bond/Equity polarity still exists ( sell bonds and buy stock or sell stock and buy bonds) but the return is simply riskier and riskier.

Schwab has a couple of new ETF's, corp and treasury bonds, you might consider SCHQ.
 
If I thought the market was going to crater I'd be in cash. There was no place safe to hide last time the market went ass up.
 
Or the economy could chug along and the stock market yields just lower returns

I can't speak for retirees but I'm pretty happy keeping a good chunk of my 401(k) in the stable value fund yielding 2.6%.

Yeah, this is indeed a possible scenario. A stable, sludgy market with single digit returns, for possibly years.

I'm heavier in bonds than equity, for sure.
