The yields among 3, 4, 5, and 10 year treasuries are flattening. Will watch if this tread continues.
Will yield curve flattening follow by “inversion” ?

how does one go about buying the 2-yr treasury bonds? By the time we go to buy, they probably go down 10 bps in yield but still will be better than any CDs.

See anything strange here?

+1.

10% gain ain't what it used to be, not after a 56% drop (Y/Y as of OP). That is, it only recovered 1/10th of its remaining value, so it's still down around 50% Y/Y.
March 16, 2021 to March 15, 2022: 43.45% of value remaining (per M* interactive chart)
Adding in today's performance (rising from $54.39 to $60.04) one gets a remaining pct value of:
43.45% x (1 + $5.65/$54.39) = 47.96%. It's still down 52% Y/Y.
Not much pain alleviated.

Who ever thought they meant it literally?

Quite a reach I’d think.

Have you checked into who in addition to Giroux was moved from T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. to T. Rowe Price Investment Management, Inc.?

[M]anagers who may have bounced ideas off a favorite analyst or a favorite manager may no longer be able to do that. The idea is to have these groups operate more or less autonomously. In other words, they can't share ideas across the line.

Maybe none of the ETF managers are on the same side of the firewall, maybe they all are. It's a starting point.

ARKK +10.4% today (3/16). That should alleviate a lot of pain for those who own it. :)

“What concerns me is China is undergo lockdown in several large cities with several thousands cases of COVID.”
Yes. Agree. They’ve taken a different approach to Covid and not great results. Short sellers (hedge funds and the like) have huge impact on markets today. When the tide turns, they rush in to cover their shorts as the market rises. I suspect that’s Cathie Wood’s problem. Some day ARKK may “blast off” in similar fashion - though I’m not making any bets.
DODEX gained 8.5% today. Good for my prior holding - but not so good for the additional 20% I added today.
PS - Speaking of ARKK, +10.4% today. Happy for those who ride own it.

Perpetual Buy/Sell/Why had its last post in February 2021, so it moved far-far down.

+1. Love to know THAT, eh?

From Washing Post this morning,

signaled far more rate hikes, a total of seven for this year, marking a big first step in the Fed’s precarious fight to rein in the highest inflation in 40 years.

If 25 bps per hike, 7x0.25 = 1.75% by year end. Fed missed the boat completely to combat inflation last year. The “transitory” term should be long gone.

Press conference upcoming. May move markets.
After the FOMC announcement equities did a U-turn. Dow fell about 200-300 points over a few minutes to about flat at present. Had been strong earlier in day. Gold ticked up $5, but is still off $15 for the day at near $1900. P/M iminers are off 2% as of 2:30.
If I heard right, the fed is predicting a return to their target 2% inflation within the next few years.
(But didn’t offer to sell anyone a bridge).

Bloomberg is reporting China’s Dragon popped 24% last night. I’d already decided to initiate an additional purchase of DODEX today as part of a scheduled rebalance. Since my portfolio’s been driven so out of whack by the erratic first quarter markets, I moved up the normal end of quarter rebalancing.
Since the trade goes through at the end of today, I’m hoping DODEX won’t “pop” too much today. Am guessing it will be up about + - 10% today. It has 60% in SE Asia. Not sure how much in China. The initial investment roughly 3 weeks ago is down 12-13% (but feels like more).
Any guesses where DODEX will end the day? I’m also wondering if there’s any FVP that might be employed to lessen the impact on investors in the fund from a giantic move like the one in China overnight?

It's still very early, but this one has a chance. It's trading well first few weeks. Concentrated portfolio. 9% international equity. Inception 2/22/2022. Based on top 10 holdings, I guesstimate 2-2.20% dividend. On my watch list...we will know in the fullness of time. Value in the name but M* showing only 28%.
