Re: Good deal on treasuries vs CDs right now

A thought I realized. Cash is no doubt the hated asset right now. Seems like it could be the asset on sale right now then. U.S. 6M 1.1803 U.S. 1Y 1.7944 U.S. 2Y 2.5608 U.S. 3Y 2.7765 https://www.investing.com/rates-bonds/usa-government-bonds 2 year looks like a nice sweet spot at 2.56.

Re: How to save money not part of your portfolio?

I also consider all savings a part of portfolio.

Stocks are the most tax efficient asset outside of a retirement account.

If you are able to, you can move stocks to cash inside retirement account to keep you in balance.

Japanese Yen and US Treasuries

Re: Coronavirus General Discussion

Still mask mandating 2 year olds in NYC.

This can't make any sense to anyone.

Is there some grant or loan forgiveness to continue this? I can't understand any other reason.

Re: Good deal on treasuries vs CDs right now

Absolute steal of a deal on 3 year treasuries right now.

Treasuries are paying 2.55 % while 36 month CDs are paying mostly around 1.25%.

Is this just a complete lack of education? How can banks get any bites at these rates?

Max price us gas pumps can handle? Over $10?

At this rate I would not be surprised if we hit $10 gas per gallon. That made me take note of price signs that only have 3 digits making 9.99 the highest price. I am sure the price signs can get creative to handle $10 but what about systems. I tried a quick Google but didn't find anything on how hig...
