David and Chip, you and yours; do enjoy the holiday time.
I'm thinking you'll need that food energy to finish with the snow cleanup.
Or perhaps the chore has been 'shared'.
Hi @Sven
I noted at the end of the data, that FZDXX MMKT fund has a 7 day yield this past week of 4.25%. An upward move of 8.7% from last week. We currently use this fund to park cash monies.
Ho! Ho! Ho! But, not in the happy holiday sense for Bonds. SLAP, SLAP, SLAP to bonds per BOJ actions. Hence, many bond prices took a hit on Tuesday and were wishy-washy through the remainder of a holiday period. A short video discussion is part of t…
An initial overview of several areas relative to Roth's, RMD's, 529 to Roth conversions, etc. More defined information will be available in the near future; so, you may choose to investigate areas of interest to your circumstances.

I venture to say that most MMKT/core cash or perhaps sweep accounts (which FIDO doesn't use for a self-managed acct.; perhaps with advisor type accts. ); will not be found at M* or Google Finance or whatever else. One will only be able to acc…
@Derf
Have you access to MMKT accounts/funds where you invest, that have a portfolio in mostly U.S. gov't issues? 'Course, these don't have the FDIC coverage, but.....
I mention, as many investment houses have some similar MMKT funds, relative to yi…
Hi Ron, And yes, thank you for your service there. I expected the great scene you presented when I read the title subject words. Where did you take R & R?
@BenWP I've watched Apocalypse Now 4 times. Very well written in my opinion, and fully e…
I'm not optimistic about China's economic recovery and what it would imply globally; and I'll stick with the unknown of the 'Covid Factor'.
Only 2 Covid deaths reported since December 3, according to State government sources.
I can't access the article.
IRMMA has been discussed prior here......but to add this, too,
How long does the Irmaa surcharge last?
Unlike late enrollment penalties, which can last as long as you have Medicare coverage or are considered a Medicare…
Hi Ron,
Thank you again.
AND, the potential for a White Christmas in our/your area is in the weather radar. A strong system potential, as they say.....
Serious cold, wind and that snow stuff.
And @hank can pretty much plan on snow in his part of t…

Rick Rieder (BlackRock) was saying just that on WSW when I watched it, yesterday. And he was also touting bonds, though not junk. All of the talking heads I'm hearing--- including Desai and Feeney on WSW yesterday--- rather like bonds of high…
Bond prices mostly up for the week, although many giving back pricing on Friday.
I'm fully unqualified to express any of the comments or answer the follow up questioning at the FOMC meeting, as presented by Mr. Powell. I/we don't have all of their…
I heart PF; but I do believe you missed the Category Button. A nice tribute to early member, Sid; and PF's skill at shaping musical sounds.
Too early right now in the islands......more Kona coffee????????????
Tesla/China and China in general. First, IMHO, is credible reporting from the State controlled government.
NOW, the Covid thing. China appears to have begun relaxing policies of locking down the 'public'. Were they truly concerned with the recent '…
Hi@yogibearbull
Have wondered/imagined being on the inside, of the numbers folks.
FOMC new rules and regs.....trading, the big kids.
'Course none of this prevents leaks, friends of friends, etc.
I've not checked restrictions among the vast po…
Well, I did check the free account login and they need an email address; and a first and last name. So, I'm thinking about using my email and your first and last name. I think that would work.
An AI write request for me would be quantum physics or m…
@johnN
The overview remains for me, as from 1978; that we invest in an ever dynamic market place that has more nuts and bolts today, than in the past, IMHO. Use the best tool box one can manage to understand to keep those nuts and bolts holding toge…
SO !!! Who among us is going to be the first to write about an investment topic using this OpenAI??? Say 100 words or less. It should be a good one; say about derivatives, CLO's (collateral loan obligations) or similar. :)

You wrote: Ust be very careful, it's too high now w high RSI ( except ust 10 yrs or 20yrs extremely cheap).
What ticker symbol are you using to discover the RSI of UST's?
Send the link, please.
Thank you.
I've read briefly the past few months about this particular A.I.
I remain fascinated with all forms of technology in the broadest forms, but yes; the 'stuff' makes me twitchy.
Years back I posted links here regarding robotics and their many uses. …
14 is the number of trading periods(days) that the math formula is based upon to obtain the RSI. There are other periods, and too many other technical tools for me to begin to use or understand. I've settled with the RSI 14, for my own use; among wh…
MAYBE, may be the key word for any investing, yes?
Let the so called pundits provide their investment list to MFO and we'll check back in a year or so.
5 year chart
Strictly from a technical view over 5 years, this product appears to be near fully priced at this time. A RSI of 30 and below is a technical level that may be considered near or at 'oversold'; while a RSI of 70 and greater may be consi…
Friday, slightly higher monthly Producer Price Index and Core PPI dinged yields to move a bit higher; although the 12 month PPI's trend continues to move lower. Survey says, inflation expectations lowest since 2021 .......only a survey of humans, Un…
We don't hold any CD's, but note that several of you have written about the availability of some CD maturities and/or rate changes during the past several weeks.

Hi @Sven et al
This race boiled down to the quality of the candidates.....
This should have been important; but not unlike other mid-term states; the R's voted not for necessarily qualified candidates, but they would vote for anyone, other than the…
I think that they're going to try to keep gently pushing until they see the start of a recession.
The key, eh? Whose recession 'start' are they going to be monitoring?
Hi @Sven I believe you didn't insert the link within the words.......I've done this, too. Global Markets and ETF Inflows Build Momentum in November.
Is it this M* report?
Well, we have 'Two for Tuesday' (FM radio); and a 'Warm for Wednesday' (Powell/Fed. statement). Warm and fuzzy feeling, for the most part; the Fed. rate increases may back down a tad. Then, 'Freaky Friday', from the jobs and wages reports. Too many …
Now, Federal Reserve officials really, really don’t want to talk about this. They believe that any explicit statement to the effect that 2 percent is no longer the target would damage their credibility. I understand that. But the rest of us don’t ha…

I would expect tomorrow, Saturday, Dec. 3. You may 'select' the 'Commentary' button in the green header bar above, to check; which will open the 'new month page', if posted, and the old month, if not yet updated. When December is posted, y…
