big drop on IRM today…
Why TSLA up but RIVN down?
Tariffs will hurt Rivian but Musk will get an exception for Tesla?Quote:

My guess still good amount of up before a huge crash within the next 4 years. I'm not selling, but planning to do less buying in the brokerage account. Not sure what to do with the small amount of BND I have...been annoyed to have it since buying. No change in 401k. Still transitioning t-bills to t-notes or cd's above 4%.Quote:

I expect inflation over the next several years.
More tax cuts and deficit spending, trade wars, and no political will to allow rates to be high enough to curb inflation.
I expect that money will go looking for yield in risk assets.
I agree, but how to deploy?Quote:

Where are prediction markets on whether the bond vigilantes will be the hedge against significant tariffs and deficit spending? Shorting treasuries over the next 2 years would be my aggressive play if I didn't have mouths to feed.
Investor mags, I need a bit of hand holding through how this all works. I opened a Fidelity account, transferred in $1000 to start. I am looking to invest in SGOV, short term Tbill ETF fund, looks like it should return about 4.6% after fees. My questions are this:
Do I just do a transfer from my account into this fund, then what, how do they pay me my "profits", monthly, daily? I read the prospectus and didn't see any time limits, long or short, or odd fees from Fidelity's side.
It all seems so easy, what am I missing in the mechanics of this (not looking for investing advice here, though would be glad to share goals as a secondary to my original question).
Just want to make sure I'm not sending my money out into the internet to never return.
Look under "distributions". It's monthly. On the case of SGOV, currently 41c / share. ( just paid Nov 1st)Quote:
