And a timely article in support of that strategy:

Can't get past the pay-wall or don't want to read it, here's the summary:
"Over the long run, the total return of bonds depends far more on their income than on changes in price. Since 1976, just over 90% of the average annual return of the U.S. bond market has come from interest and reinvesting it, according to Loomis, Sayles & Co., an investment manager in Boston."
Yeah, but i wonder what the results would be in a period of riding interest ratesQuote:

Anyway, these guys don't want people to sell their holdings in the fund, so i wouldn't trust their propaganda.
Careful how you interpret this study.

I personally haven't adopted that strategy but am certainly weighing it.
14 year high rate in the 5Y

Set an order to buy CRLBF at $4.20 on Sunday night, figured the price was fitting. It came within .14 of filling. Reset it for $4.00 on a GTC order. Came within pennies all week while rising in the afternoons, today it finally filled at an opener of $3.92.
I figure weed stocks will languish until after the midterms at least, just waiting on that legislative banking bill. I could probably get it cheaper soon, but I’m hoping they buck the weed stock trend of low margins. They report May 18th, crossing fingers for a better margin outcome.
Ended up getting my $52 ($51.34) for the ET put, could’ve cashed out at $5 during the day. But, I want that $51, or the shares.
Buy IBonds and wait out the silliness. Yielding 9%+ with a $10,000 limit per account. Setting up the account is a PITA, but it’s worth it.
It’s like a teaser rate. If we go back to trend inflation and with the sell restrictions it doesn’t look so great.Quote:

I bonds only have to be held for a year. You can only put 10K in them per year max so it will not make or break your life investment strategy.
UBER says working for them is a privilege. AMZN over hired. More Tech layoffs are coming.
I cashed out 20% premarket... I guess that was good... but not good enough. This feels like a long downward slide. Timing the market is a fucking dice throw.
Why are interest rates up but banks not paying anything for savings accounts? I'm earning 0.01% from USAA.
Agree. Bear markets can have massive rallies. Before bottoming out in 2000 the NASDAQ rallied 30%+ multiple times.Quote:

Based on my googling, in the late 70's to stop this level of inflation was a recession, so likely could have ~10% more drop?
Sure. Maybe 20%. Maybe more.Quote:

Like I said a few pages back, if you are nearing retirement, or are not in it for 5-10 yrs, you will wish you had sold in that last rally.
4matic got it right for his age, now he waits for higher yields like retirees wished for when they were sold shitty stocks by no nothing advisors the last 5 yrs.
Going to be a lot whiners the next few yrs.

I have a few savings accounts that I don't pay too much attention to, but looking now, it's .85, .60, and local bank .02. Tracking up slowly.Quote:

I wouldn't trust Crazy Cathy with a dime of my $. YMMV though.
Maybe. Or it'll keep dropping as people start to panic.Quote:

Problem for ARKK now is TSLA. It can still really get hit.
Sell when you can, not when you have to.Quote:
