Late day market update 9/18

edited September 18 in Other Investing
Yikes. I hope no one suffered financial loss owing to the hours long absence of mfo’s investment guidance Thursday. . If you’re on auto-pilot you’ll be glad to know the markets continued on their winning ways with several new records set today.

Noteworthy - The Dow, S&P 500 & Russell 2000 all hit record highs on Thursday. The last time that occurred was Nov. 2021.

After first falling, the 10-year treasury bond reversed direction and closed higher at 4.12%

No. I don’t understand why most everything keeps going up. Some’s probably owing to the Fed’s actions & narrative yesterday. Did someone say bubble? Barron’s says small caps are taking off. Gundlach likes local currency EM debt. And Fleckenstein likes silver - though I wouldn’t touch the precious metals with a 10-foot pole at these levels. There was an important development in tech with Nvidia announcing a $5 Bil investment in Intel.

Personally, my stuff doesn’t move much day-to-day or on days like this. About 25% equity. Lots of hedging. Slow Mo!

  • @hank Just for a comparison my Schwab account up .14% yesterday. 21 - 22 % equity

    A boat load of money went out during Covid19 . What wasn't needed is driving this market up. Some where I hear the money supply was increased 40%, although I find that hard to believe.

    It sure went up a lot, but I haven't done the arithmetic. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/M2SL
