outside the US people are paying their plumber and barber in bitcoin? with what apps.

Waiting for a dip in bitcoin but as 2020 demonstrated there might not be another dip. Printer turns right on

Luck or did you time it

Its over for bonds. The culture has changed and no one cares if the Fed just prints. Leftists will blame Trump. If the Fed funds gov by buying short duration, rather than buying long from the market, Im cooked. https://old.reddit.com/r/AskEconomics/comments/13jeahq/who_is_buying_argentine_bonds_when...

"While China's government is officially communist, Pew Research Center found that most Chinese people express support for capitalism. Roughly 76% agree that people are better off in a free market economy." That's. . .odd. Is this like how everyone knew Biden was demented but didnt care. 20...

Browne was libertarian. We went apeshit in 2020 and he'd have lost (more) faith in authority. 1.2% fixed on iBonds while M2 has been 7%. iBonds should be giving a healthy return over inflation because they're for the little guy. Well its consolation watching countries like Canada vote for more socia...

Fed's going to fund the government. Is it worth waiting for them to do QE again tho, with M2 humming along at 7% and stocks at 9%. EDV will go up 60% if they start buying at 2.5%

They're probly fine. But I want to get paid to take on volatility, until I must have stability. Trying to sort out if holding PFIX and EDV together makes sense, since they cancel out. Thinking it does, PFIX has more upside and rising real rates will take down all other assets. They'll take down the ...

If you arent going to cap weight, you need to explain why Nvidia et al are mispriced by the investors looking at their numbers. Arnott's fund has slightly underperformed the market last 20 years.

"Tax on Corporate Profit Margins" finally someone says it. Funny cuz reddit loves corporate tax but they're in shambles over tariffs. Trump's not going to betray his megacorp donors....if markets drop more than 20% we'll get the printer. Well we better cuz Ive been bagholding EDV since Obama

Varies by individual. People who check their numbers weekly or more maybe should be more defensive/risk parity. I dunno if people do that out of fear or excitement though.
