Re: The Red State Brain Drain Isn’t Coming. It’s Happening Right Now.
One thing about Texas... most of the knowledge workers are NOT from Texas, even in the oilpatch. The modern Oil & Gas industry is very high tech. At least half of us immigrated to Texas for money and jobs. Texas does a pretty bad job of educating its native sons and daughters when you get right down...

Perma-bear David "Rosie" Rosenberg thinks Long Bonds could be up 25% in 2024. He's also bullish on gold.

Both of my daughters left Texas recently. They can't really get 100% comprehensive gynecological care here. Ectopic pregnancy? Fetus going to inevitably die? We're sorry. Come back when you're septic and your internal organs are failing. Then we'll talk. One of them at least wants to have kids, but ...

Really moving now, nice. ATH closes for month, Q4, and year would be really a good sign.

Re: Javier Milei, Argentina, wants to Dollarize their economy?
It's ironic given that Argentina means "silvery" or "silver-colored". If they pursued their namesake, they'd peg the Argentine dollar to Argentum (AG). That's a pipe dream, isn't it?

Our government is captured by special interests who want short term bennies and who don't care about the LT survivability of the United States.

How is that going to happen? Which of the three will he be willing to sacrifice? I think he'll try to keep all three, and it will be a failure. Wasn't the problem with Greece that they took out loans which they then had to pay back with real money (Euros) and not monopoly money (Drachma)? Had they s...

Re: High cost gold depositories are you giving your gold away
The real issue I suppose is how does an old person get gold across the country from one safe deposit box to another if relocating to be closer to kids and possibly going into assisted living? That elder isn't going to drive... I don't think they want to take, say, 60 oz of gold through TSA checkpoin...

Why not wait until Dave Enna's mid-April opinion about I-Bond rates? They might go up.

High cost gold depositories are you giving your gold away
I was considering using a depository to shield my gold from taxable events while keeping it safe in my old age and cognitive decline. The one in question charges 0.5% per annum. I did a present value analysis of the fees over time, even just assuming gold only grows with inflation, the fee harvests ...

Re: I-Bond fixed rate rises to 1.3%, highest in more than 16 years
Sadly, I spent my $10,000 already for 2023. I think April - May is time to buy... the Fed dot plots, if you believe them, show an easing into late 2024. But... we're probably going to be humiliated nonetheless.

Re: Why the big move in gold?
Did gold hit an ATH on a monthly basis? If so, that's important.
PS - I think it came close but didn't hit it.

Re: Small Cap Value seems cheap at the moment
Maybe the point now is to get into microcap value which is basically not tradeable for the big ETF makers. Things like the AAII Shadow Stock Portfolio, where you buy and mostly hold 30 microcap stocks. There is some turnover every quarter, but it's like 2-3 per quarter. So 8-12 per year... 1/4 to 1/...
