They are indeed. I'm more of an "Investor" than a "Trader" in this volatile market.
SWMBO was watching Fox Business (I believe Kudlow) yesterday and she said they were discussing a safe harbor from the market by moving investments to a T-Bill hat is now 10 percent? I was not aware of anything even close to this rate.

They have $10,000 limit on them and there is some kind of forfeit of interest if you cash them in before 3 years I think.
Now if you wanted to throw some money into a closed end bond fund, well there is no limit on those, they are completely nose dived and are paying yields not seen in a long time.

But you didn't hear that from me

Thanks.
I just asked her again, and they were talking about "I-Bonds" (now the rate makes sense to me), that I believe are 9.6 percent after the first six months, 7.1 percent to lock in April now, if I recall correctly.

the signals from this market are as clear can be. the tech stocks are down 20% off the top. that means the path to least resistance is downtown.. some day that will change and you will bet the signal. for now, just go short.

You can get another $5,000 in I Bonds if you overpay your taxes and ask to have $5k of it applied to I Bonds. It's been a while since I looked at them, but... I think...
1) You can't cash them out at all in the 1st year.
2) There' a 3 month interest loss if you cash in years 2-4.
But, a 3 month interest loss means 7% x 75% still means a 5 1/4% rate... far better than a CD right now...

I originally thought oil would top out at 100, it's going to 120 by summer. Write it down.

2022 will be time to pay the piper. I agree that the high for the year is already in. This market will be down at least 20% and possibly 30% by July.

You're like the second coming of that guy who said right when Trump was elected, that this was the buying opportunity of a generation (he was right).
Now we have you for the downside.
Who needs anyone else?

LOL, I guess if we get it right on which guy to listen to when we will do pretty good? But that's the hard part.

Facebook is #7 in the S&P and we see how well it holds up to a bad earnings report. Amazon is #3 and comes tomorrow. When Q1 2022 Earnings come in 90 days is when I truly suspect we will see some pain.
