Single-bond ETFs may be the key to revolutionize trading Treasurys This does seem like a very convenient way to get exposure to (for example) 3-month T-Bills, via the ETF TBIL. However when I click on the ticker link from that article it looks like the fund is way more volatile than I would have ex...

https://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/public_surveys/died_suddenly_more_than_1_in_4_think_someone_they_know_died_from_covid_19_vaccines I think the death toll from the vax is going to climb and climb and this 49% number from the poll below will get past 79% this year. Of course i...

Big surprise there. You basically can't get published in a place like the Atlantic unless you show your fealty to leftist globalists with your virtue signaling by bashing Trump. https://www.allsides.com/news-source/atlantic The Atlantic gets a pretty strong "Left" bias rating from Allside...

Although holy tracking error — IIRC, SCV hasn’t kept up with SP500 until quite recently Yeah... that's the game with highly volatile products. Paul Merriman has a chart that compares various strategies. And a SCV+SP500 pairing ends up consistently being perfectly mediocre - never first, never last....

I think the term you are looking for is “Virus Protection Camp”.

My absolute favorite obvious contradiction for right wing conspiracies as a generality is that on one hand, the government is so corrupt and incredibly inept that it can do nothing right. Yet, on the other hand the government is so wickedly brilliant that it can infiltrate and control every aspect ...

From my experience here’s where there is a problem with the military. We stay WAY too long when things are obviously not going well and the cost benefit analysis of military action has swung to the absolute loss side of the ledger. A weird dynamic occurs…all militaries hate to lose. It’s the ultima...

> for those who contend the American people are all sheep But of course, SARS2 (which variant is it now?) is just as deadly as we're told. But we can lay that question aside. My family is like this, they cannot even have the conversation. They refuse to listen to evidence. But to be fair, I'm still...

http://web.archive.org/web/20060216223405/http://finance.wharton.upenn.edu/~rlwctr/papers/0429.pdf This study is 20 years old but interesting nonetheless. Conclusion was that buying the original S&P 500 stocks and holding them with no changes led to a much better outcome than following all of th...

This reminds me of a fallacy described by Nassim Taleb but for the life of me I cannot remember what he named it. He describes a situation (which happens to me a lot) where you read an article (or see a tv news story) regarding a topic with which you are very, very knowledgeable. Say an article abou...

On the other hand regarding your son ...... how about the vaccine perhaps preventing him from a lifetime of potential problems including death? Come on. The death rate from Covid cases across all ages groups is approx 3%. People in the 18-29 age range only constitute 1.8% of the total Covid deaths....

I grew up in Rhode Island and it was practically "Little Italy" where I grew up. I'd say that of the 2,000+ students that were in my three year high school that about half of them were thorough-bred, 100% Italians such as myself. But we had zero Italian culture, little Italian identify. L...

Slightly related, with the twitter unbannings/revelations, weren't there a few conservatives people on this forum who should have been banned for a month instead of forever? This forum used to welcome conservative views, but that stopped being the case some time back. Even if the bans are reversed,...

Off topic: I saw this thread was revived and then saw Sophie's avatar. Now, I miss Sophie. :'( A few words about Peter Schiff, given that's he's the subject matter here. I think he's long-term right about his bet on gold and international assets, but I think his attempt at guessing the timing for t...

I am definitely a positive for the future. That in most ways the world just keeps getting better and better. Therefore that does lead to investing in equities to an extent. Not to sidetrack the original question but even though we can back up with statistics that many, many areas of life have shown...

Actually, if you look at the data consumer debt is actually very low historically. The 2008 crisis was mostly a household deleveraging. This generation of people for the most part have kind of learned their lesson. These household debt crisis' tend to happen once a lifetime for this reason. The deb...

I have heard investor psychologists say that how you invest depends on your outlook for the future. If you are a positive person you will most likely be heavy into stocks? Negative you may be into gold. I am guessing risk parity portfolios would be for people who are agnostic. I have also heard othe...

I have seen other explanations thrown out. Maybe the predictions of a Red Wave made Rs lazy and not motivated to show up. Or maybe that got Ds out to vote. And some pollsters claim the polls never predicted a Red Wave and that was a narrative created out of nowhere. The interesting thing is that ev...

I like divided government. Reigns in the crazies on both sides. Effectively adding more reams of paper to existing state and federal code and regulations isn't necessarily a good thing. I used to believe that way until Executive Orders started becoming so commonplace. I also don't like executive or...
