Did nothing today.
FWIW, 5/12/22 was worse for Nasdaq Comp, R2000, utilities, cryptos and those lows held. Today, 5/18/22, was worse for SP500, DJIA, DJ Transports (just creamed) and had new closing lows.

Ahhh the 70's... loved the late 70's early 80's. Mortgage was 14% BUT we were getting raises every 6-9 months. It's all relative. If bonds get to 10-14% I'm buying as many LONG term CDs as I can. ;^) ;^)

+1.

The big kahuna in that area, the Navajo Generating Station outside Page AZ, shut down for good in 2019.

Yes, lumber is going thru the roof, has been for several years.
In the mean time our forests are being consumed by forest fires.
We need to get back to logging, letting ranchers run cattle in forests, create fire breaks and clear cuts to improve live feed.
I expect my Home Owners Insurance will go up again 15 to 20% because of the cost of replacement.

...Well, it was an ATTEMPTED trade, a limit-order, wanting to buy PCFBY, which is Pac. Basin Shipping. I checked three different sources for current share price. All of them showed a price under $10 at that moment. On the TRADING (transaction) page at the TRP brokerage, the share price was up over $10.25...... But when I navigated to a different page (still logged-in,) the share price that showed there actually jived with the others.
I bought RGR, instead. But I'm not happy about the way this happened. It sucks. Just sharing, here.

Amazon’s chart (AMZN) isn’t quite that dramatic. But if you could separate out AWS it might be.
I haven’t heard a really convincing explanation in the media. I’m thinking (1) higher labor costs, (2) higher transportation costs due to energy prices.

IIRC Amazon uses AWS to offset perpetual losses on the retail side, but I could be misinformed. By not breaking out numbers, it makes it easier to conceal threats/losses in other business lines such as retail, or increased prices for Prime content, etc, etc. And if that's not enough for their PR/IR outreach teams, they can always jack up Prime subscriptions again.

Unfortunately, MOVE blends various Treasuries in a "pot'. It would be better if there were targeted MOVEs, say, MOVE-10 for the most popular/important 10-yr, etc. But the "free" MOVE is a blend & EOD (not real-time). I don't know what refinements exist (beyond real-time) for the subscription product - may be someone will post on those.

@yogibearbull : Good morning YBB. ? Does each bond have its own VIX or are they all put in the pot to come up with an average VIX ?
Thank you, Derf
Added - After looking at your link it appears to be an average VIXof all ? Wouldn't it be of more value to have a VIX of each period , 2yr -5yr- 10 & 30 yrs ?

Treasury yield volatility index MOVE is now available at Yahoo Finance (^MOVE) and FT (MOVE:PSE); it is not yet available at Stockcharts. It indicates blended Treasury yield volatility derived from Treasury price volatilities that are determined from one-month options on 2-year, 5-year, 10-year and 30-year Treasuries. Think of it as bond “VIX”. For more details, see

Warren Buffett, Jack Bogle and financial planners agree: When stocks are down, ‘don’t watch the market closely’
**Although the financial markets attempted a bounce back on Tuesday, they are largely in the midst of an extended sell-off that has punished some of the biggest names in stocks.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average’s seven-week slump is its longest since 2001, while the S&P 500′s six-week losing streak is its longest since June 2011, CNBC reports.
While many investors saving for retirement may be wondering what to do in such a tumultuous market, Warren Buffett has said the answer is simple: Try not to worry too much about it.
“I would tell [investors], don’t watch the market closely,” Buffett told CNBC in 2016 during a period of wild market fluctuations.
The Oracle of Omaha added that investors who buy “good companies” over time will see results 10, 20 and 30 years down the road. “If they’re trying to buy and sell stocks, they’re not going to have very good results,” he said. “The money is made in investing by owning good companies for long periods of time. That’s what people should do with stocks.”
These gurus are probably right, buy cheap companies now and hold 10 -20 yrs**
They maybe exactly right long term
Problem folks maybe dead in 20 30 years or companies may not be around 30 yrs,
Maybe better buy sectors etfs instead

And he did. But it wasn't pretty.
On the other hand, at the height of the 70s inflationary spiral I found some very decent "Mormon" bonds out of Utah for new electric generating plants at 14%. Did very well on those, until they were called after some three or four years.
It wasn't until many years later that I realized that those power plants were coal-burning units down at "Four Corners", and major polluters. Nobody thought about that sort of thing in the 70s.

@WABAC- true enough, but we all survived the 1970s. Eventually things sort themselves out. Maybe people have to be in their 80s to remember going through all that stuff. The trick is to not do anything really stupid while all of the smoke and noise is distracting everybody.

I'm only 66. But I remember the end of silver coins and silver certificates in the 60's. The end of the gold standard. Nixon's wage and price controls. Whip inflation now. Then what Volker had to do.

I switched to VHT when Owens retired. Much happier without dealing with the 60 days holding period. Not easy to find good active managers for healthcare/ biotech funds.

If I was seeking a dedicated healthcare fund, I might consider FSPHX.

11% jump in DKNG today. My average cost is $15 p/s. Closed just under $14. Thrills and chills for sure with that one. Sorta like ARKK on steroids. :)
