Just shorter-term bonds. No new 20-year or 30-year bonds for me, and very few 10-years.

I loved long bonds when I was 40 O0 Don’t want to stick my wife with them. What is your option and solution for LTB? Hug 🫂 I have quietly opted for what a lot of others here have chosen: shortening the overall duration. I have some long bonds, the oldest of which mature in 2050. But, I don’t buy ne...

Love that guy

Cmon, Vinny, I’m waiting for you to watch it!

Why a selloff?

Nice!
Originally a Danish novel. No wonder imdb dot com spells his name Mørck.

Has anyone seen Department Q on Netflix?

So great.

Back down to the 60s and about 70 here. I think that’s 22 Canadian. Beautiful weather.

I love hot humid weather. I think it’s supposed to rain today, right on the No Kings marchers.

Cool, Vinny 👍 Michael Lewis's "The Undoing Project" touches on this topic, in addition to having much else to recommend. Have to check that out. Looks like Israel is taking its lumps now. Iranian ballistic missiles overwhelming the defenses, which were made to handle Hezbollah’s rockets. A...

But I have a bias in that I'm one of those "Israel can do no wrong" people.

Wow. Even I can’t say that.

I can’t stop laughing. Vinny, you’re a juggernaut!

I didn’t realize you were going quote me half a dozen times O0 Before you quote me again in this gold thread: I was referring to strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities. The killing of military personnel is secondary. A massive retaliation from Iran is imminent. For anything else non-gold related, I’ll...

Not a pleasant reason for gold’s price to go up,

I hope Ad Orientem is still kicking and that he is watching this.

$36 and a half, wow

I happened to read about the Greek crisis in Nadav Eyal’s book on troubles from globalization. The author spent a huge amount of time in the country as his father ran a small business there. It was like what Glennds said. A lot of traders profited. Additionally, the Greek government sent misleading ...

How’s Greta doing?
Still afloat?
