Hi @hank
You noted: picking up 100 shares of one of Cathie’s badly devastated holdings. (No longer identify specific stocks, but folks can probably guess.)
ARKK....yes? What is the 'no longer identify specific stocks' part mean? Referencing to what …
I'm with OJ on passwords. No third parties. We have two electronic files on thumb drives in two different locations and a paper copy stashed where it will not be found by unwanted folks in our house.
@MikeM I'll be watching pricing in the below list to discover when and where the money is traveling. The FED can control the short duration end for yields, but the markets may control the other durations.
Last weeks pricing performance.

GULP !!! Well, I was hoping for a full on BOND rally in the last week of this year. :) Oh, well; couldn't expect to recover 13% average losses in plain jane, broad-based bond funds in this last week of this business year, with two holidays and shor…
Absolutely.......to Miss Walters being one tough lady and digging in. I can't imagine how many internal battles she had with the network biggies. And, yes; PBS remains an asset in so many subject areas.
This about covers the 'modern news scene. News reporting has become quite bad for some local stations in Michigan. Sadly, tis not the fault of the reporters in most cases. Small budgets, producers being pushed, little time or money to pursue a loca…
Global multi sector etf's for an overview. The page is dated Dec.30, 2022; and the link is as of 8pm, EST, but all etf's may not be fully updated for the U.S. market close, but the 52 week will provide a decent, close enough view of performance for …
Select the 'Flag' to the right of 'time'. This will open a message window. Type your comment and send. David receives the message and reviews what was written. I've used this several times many years ago, when there was a time period of several trol…
Hi @Derf
Go to the comment you made and want to delete. You'll see the black, circular gear icon at the top right, as the software knows you wrote the comment. Hovering at this icon, you should see the word 'edit' pop up. Click the icon. Now you wil…
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. :)

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…
