Also, what happens when policy is too "tight", and the demand for dollars outstrips money supply? Debt has to increase to make up for the gap. Debt is money after all. The Fed buying the debt in the secondary markets now is essentially providing the dollars that were needed and not in exi...

The Fed just announced unlimited bond buying for all types of bonds (including corporate). Bonds were going no-bid at times last week. This unprecedented move should grease the bond markets gears again and get things moving (not to mention get bond ETF's back to NAV). Bond markets were basically br...

This might be of interest to you for your stock allocation . On the Tactical Asset Allocation + HBPP thread is an idea ochotona was following from Paul Novell's newsletter. Taking the 200 SMA for the SPY. I looked at the website and it seems interesting. Just not to many indicators to form fit what ...

There's another plan that would fix this issue in no time. 1. No federal guarantees for student loans 2. Allow student loans to be discharged in bankruptcy after a waiting period, say 7 years. (The waiting period is to prevent doctors and the like from graduating from their professional schools and...

Ok, so this last couple weeks has been interesting. In some ways I've grown a greater respect for the PP/GB. In other ways, my skills in technical analysis could have allowed me to do better if I had some flexibility built into my rules. The damage is now done, but coming out of a bear market there...

Shekels’ sig says gold 1300. I see 1500 —? ??? Maybe that’s part of your desired Buy Price, but you’ve got a period there. Within a Year is my guess But I have no clue on timing. I would like to see it drop to 1000, But my buy order is in at 1325. 1325 is not a price I would buy at. That is just be...

Why do we continually need a cadre of apologists telling us, "That's not what he meant!" "This is what he was trying to say." "He was just joking! Are you an idiot that you could not tell that?" "He just used the wrong word." I somehow don't remember reading ...

Pug, sorry about your pug. Thanks, Corto Like him or not, for us in IL, I have found Pritzker to be a good speaker. He may be a good speaker, but has proven himself to be a hack beholden to the public sector unions. Nearly everything he has done since taking office has been a net negative for the s...

Well, I guess I have my question answered as to whether this forum is overly-moderated. It didn't take long for this thread to get derailed into a discussion about cats, and the mods haven't stepped in to delete any of those comments. Maybe I'll be wishing for *more* moderation later. ;) 1) You wil...

I'm already thinking about getting back into equities.. I would not jump the signals, but I'm just getting psyched... but it could be a while. Congratulations to all, you've all done well in your own practices. Those Bogleheads are a pretty dour crew. They're like the Puritans of Massachusetts Bay ...

This is all aside from the question about whether or not they should have been more forthcoming to the public about the dangers ahead, after the briefing. -- Right, Smith! O0 Who are they going to tell without causing panic? I don't know but for some reason everyone in CONgress is a millionaire. Ma...

I think there is a least a couple more who did the same thing.
I was also under the impression that insider trading is not Illegal for Congress.
I know at one time that is was a perk, did it change?

As always, we're well ahead of US ;D - you can see how some parliamentary representatives looked today during their session. There is some brave lady in the upper right corner of the photo - guess a former member of the Communist party (actually most of them are..) Joke apart - army is already on t...

Would you have thought is was racist if you did not Hear it from TRUMP and the Propaganda news was NOT REPEATING IT WAS RACIST ?

So I guess Chinese food and Chinese restaurants need to be renamed.

Thank you for your replies, guys. I'm currently playing with GNU Privacy Guard, generating public/private key pairs for encrypted messages. This stuff is hella fun. Libertarian666, I'm using Linux and have set my goal to make it my main operating system. Why? Because it's there. I want to master it...

Good news for those like me that have a tax bill this year. We have 2 more months to procrastinate payment. Honestly, I really did not want to have to cut down my liquidity for a tax payment during this crisis so that is a relief. So If I file an extension, it will be so late in the Year you think ...

I'm with you guys on this one. A lot of people seem to think that the Fed has unilateral control over interest rates. They don't. They are a large influencing factor, but they don't have unilateral control. Alan Greenspan said as much about his tenure after the financial crisis. People lambasted hi...

i agree with you on many points. When the house is on Fire even the furniture get burned. Listen to this last night.
