A Colorado judgement lien on real estate will net 8% a year. Granted you need to foreclose, or wait for a sale, but that's easy and can't be beat. I'm just waiting for all the evil cunts who haven't paid me to cry when they or their family goes to sell, or I decide to get feisty.

Is the stock market going to tank?
WSJ:
"In America, older workers have been responsible for just about all of the net employment expansion over the last recovery. From 2007 to 2018, the number of prime-age employees has grown by a mere 300,000--that is, by +0.3%."

Haven't you heard? No one is buying mutual funds anymore. It's been proven countless times that it is impossible to beat the market consistently, so index funds and low cost ETFs have taken over. VTSAX is a great option if you are looking for exposure to US equities. VBTLX for US bond market and VTWSX for international equities.

PNTV coming back from the dead.. ran from just under .02 a month ago up to close at .0574 today. 52 week high is .083. All with a stop sign and no big official news. But they finally outsourced grow ops to some dudes who actually know what they are doing, and are posting IG pics of the early build stages in Argentina.

God, was I glad I got out at .22. My gf didn't sell and is sitting on a shitload, determined it would go back up. This will make her happy. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the Argentina grow move. If they can ship it out, then yes, it's a good move with exchange rate @ 1:26 or so.

I have a SEP mutual fund, with the market being on an (unsustainable) upswing I wanted to take some of the mutual funds and buy Bond funds for a more secure and stable investment. When I started researching the funds, within The Capitol Group, American Funds, I see there's even a fair amount of risk in Bond funds. I thought bonds were super stable, dopes the fact it's in a fund and not a stand alone bond change the volatility? Is it a good investment to move a SEP to Bond fund?

The experts know more, but in a nutshell: you're thinking of bonds, not bond funds. Funds go up and down with the market value of their bonds, whereas if you buy a bond and think only about the promised payout (on the day you bought it) you can hold it to maturity for the expected stability.
Per Bromo: treasuries and chill.

Bond funds generally have a stable duration which is basically the average maturity of the bond. For example BND has an average duration of 6 years and an average maturity of 8 years. The managers will continue to buy bonds as others mature and roll off so the maturity and duration will largely always be the same meaning your fund never matures. Because of that the value of the fund will fluctuate daily roughly the amount of the average duration bond in the portfolio:
BND:
Characteristics
as of 06/30/2019
Number of bonds
8566
Average effective maturity
8.2 years
Average duration
6.0 years
Yield to maturity
2.5%
The advantage to a bond fund is liquidity, active management, and constant duration with an element of laddering. The problem is you will always have principle risk as you own the fund because if never matures. Bond funds generally fluctuate less than individual bonds on a daily basis because of the blended maturity. The also pay dividends monthly.
Advantage to Individual bonds is they are less risky for principal in that if you hold them to term you get all your money back. The disadvantage to individual bonds is liquidity, expense (sometimes), and your duration expires so you have to find a substitute when the bonds expire.
So bond funds have an element of equity risk in their fluctuating principal.
Also, you can get bond funds that use leverage. They are quite common. When you use leverage you obviously increase yield but also increase principal risk and volatility.
