Wednesday, 24th Sept, '25. 2 of my 3 single-stocks were up. All else was red. Worst performer: BLX. ET roused from slumber and surged. We'll see what tomorrow brings for THAT one. Can't explain it. I've seen no news.
Yup. Come to think of it, I dunno why my 3 single-stocks have not been assigned negative beta! But they were up while all else in the portfolio was down. Overall, on 25th Sept, '25: down by -0.29%.
Stuff can't go up in a straight line. Mr. Market continues to ignore the political craziness.... until he can't any longer. By then, we'll all be screwed. In a sense we ALL already are. And SWVXX is down below 4%, at 3.99% yield. Stinky poopies. Time has come, I think to begin to think of my junk bonds as my cash substitute. Yes, the bond fund share prices can fall. But my chosen funds seldom fall 2 or 3 cents before they gain it back. Biggest junk holding offers 6.92% yield. The other offers 7.3%, still. Even in that dreadful year ('21? '22?) I just rode them down and then back up. No hurry, no urgency.

There was some green in the taxable from the income-oriented side of my dog's breakfast of deworsification: RDIV, PEY, CSB, FDFAX, VEIRX, and VMNVX
