Money Market vs JEPI?
What sites are you using to track investments, get news, make decisions? Subscription or not.
I'm cheap, but now actively retired and want to use my time to ensure I'm more engaged with my 401k and IRA options. I've been a buy and hold guy on the current funds available to me and will likely continue to be, but I want to ensure that I stay active and monitoring. A good use of my time.
I started looking and see subscriptions like WSJ (bundled with Barrons and Marketwatch) for $1/$2 a week. Seeking Alpha at $240 a year. CNBC pro or the Kramer thing for $500 (I think).
Again, primarily seeking news, education and ability to monitor with the main reason of staying engaged.
nice big jump for RYCEY today. hopefully they can get that dividend flowing again soon too.
I have a decent size portfolio, and elliot wave and zerohedge are the only sites i look atQuote:

Bloomberg has the best market news. Use your broker for a portfolio tracker but I'd guess Bloomberg has oneQuote:

Rod and 4matic, thanks for the input I'll check those out.

Here we go again. Testing bottom of bracket.
Could this be the time we bust into a lower value area?
Back in 2020 when it was free, i really liked SeekingAlpha. Each article has strong biases, but its pretty all over the place and the comment section would usually have strong counter arguments. I used it for new investment ideas to look into, not as investment advice per se... IMO you should never really take advice on individual investments, you should be gathering ideas from these sites and then use your own analysis and gut feel to invest within a general structure you laid out for yourself previously.Quote:

Who keeps selling? Are the whales just putting everything in to cash bonds and T-bills?Quote:

Oh they definitely did, I didn't mean to make it look like the guy focused on only one option. We were just looking for some short term stability for a chunk of cash leading into what could be a chaotic episode. I suspect that we'll park some of that cash in JEPI soon.Quote:

High delta the treasury mkt capitulates and a good opportunity if you’re in cash. Lifetime security, first time in 2 decades. Worth the bet if you ask me.
Following zerohedge for investment advice is probably a great way to go broke or at least leave tons of money on the table. Their record speak for themselves (I used to read it years ago ten got wiser).Quote:

Reading Barrons doesnt hurt as it provides DATA but still need a heavy dose of skepticism when it comes to advice.
The "rich" are already rich....they don't need to get rich twice. $50,000 state tax free per $1M can't be beat unless our "leaders" destroy the dollar and the treasury...and if that happens owning TSLA and MSFT aren't gonna help you out either.Quote:

And if you're a bag holder it makes sense you'd want to talk your book--or, better yet, talk your advisors and let them handle the close. Just human nature, I'm not badmouthing you.
Besides, everyone has their own reasons to invest. There are probably millions of lapsed Hindus hoping to experience instant karma to renew their faith. What better way than to take a minority stake in a venture controlled by an authoritarian, sovereign government?
June 2022. The craziest shit is I didn't make any edits.Quote:

So did you travel to Moscow to identify yourself? (I guess I’m asking ‘how you know’…)Quote:
