Hitch a VP to it of all FAANG, or BC or whatever floats your boat. Choose correctly you make some money. Choose poorly, you end up still having some money. And likely still better off compared to bringing in professional help.

This weeks 8 week bill was filled at $99.9992. FIDO has basically stopped autoroll I think because when you purchase, you are required to click through a bunch of negative yield disclaimers. So I just purchase these weekly with manual entries.. So far, none have actually gone negative.

CDC now reports almost 3 million cases in ages 0-19 . There have been 30,000 hospitalizations in that age group. Though not "common", I would not define that as "extremely rare" either. https://data.cdc.gov/Case-Surveillance/COVID-19-Case-Surveillance-Public-Use-Data/vbim-akqf/d...

Is this based on symptomatic cases, or a meaningless PCR test?

You always have to look at it as today and into the future. Looking back at last August doesn't mean anything now. The rate is where it's at today, because half the market thinks it can go up tomorrow and half the market thinks it can go down tomorrow. By "half the market" I mean half of ...

Okay, so now the FDA is permitting the injection for a population which is unaffected by the China flu... 12 to 15 year olds. A solution in search of a problem.

So the question was about the institutional risk. I’m going to say that VG and Fido are too big to fail. If something takes one out, you will be relying on physical gold, silver, and crypto.

Yes, recently, I have set some manual auction buys with AR off for now. Can you set your CORE to the FDIC Bank sweep? I have kept a rolling short term cash ladder as a proxy for a MM account.
