I know a guy that can get you some clean pee if you’re in need. USD100/oz.

Hawkish. Two more rate increases this year, still waiting for effect of previous hikes. Unanimity on no rate cut, and no cuts expected for years. Labor markets rate looking strong but expect to suffer a bit, inflation still high, T bill rates below targets, new home markets bullish with low...

Yeah I had that thought

Wowee wow wow... a set of AWS services went down today. Quite alarming, especially as companies move more to cloud-based infrastructure. They're not talking about why. Did they get hacked? Was there a breach? What happened? With all their talk of availability zones, regions, security, etc...

:( Can you recommend a book that can help me to destupidify myself?

Option #2 where? Also, "buying and selling of Treasury and Federal Agency bonds" is trading.

“Open Market Operations” So the Fed, with the Treasury, who together control the money supply, is trading in the market to move rates? - Is this not market manipulation, pure and simple? - Is any concept of a free market for US fixed income in the toilet? - As the most stable currency in the...

- Yes, to buy at auction and hold to maturity, from Treasury Direct or your broker is simplest. It’s also equally simple to buy on the secondary market. - The complexity comes in when you start buying and selling, flipping these bonds, and “working” the market, and profiting from the price moves.

You are getting a lower yield than par/face value, but the same yield as market price, agreed? I make no claim to be an expert… I’m working to understand this myself.

Tough question… you really need to ask an accountant, but here’s my 2¢: 1. Interest on Treasury issues interest is taxable only at the Federal level, so state and local taxes are not applicable. 2. Treasury issues bought at auction are only Federally taxed on the interest. 3. Treasury issues...

Prefer “trading” crypto derivatives to gambling?! There’s a fine line… sounds to me like you’re flipping coins. What is your edge in that market? Are you selling covered calls? “Trading” can mean a range of things: from ultra-low risk US Treasuries, real estate, investing and hedging, to...

If you crave risk then crypto is the place for you. Maybe leveraged Forex markets… Perhaps Vegas… Why is it that you “crave risk?” Thanks, Keith Non-professional - not licensed - not qualified to give advice - opinion only

Trading fixed income; specifically, buy and hold AAA bonds (or AA according to Moody’s XD) to maturity, is the #1 “trading strategy to avoid loss.” This is for “risk averse” investors for “preservation if capital.” There is a 100T market centered around this strategy, it’s been around for...

It’s called “Fixed Income,” such as Bills, Notes, Bonds, and the like.

Hi Robert forgive my ignorance but can you please explain? I don’t understand. I doubt you’re offering T-bills at 90% of the bid or ask price (i.e., discounted 10%)!! If so, I’m all in :) 90% of what?

Thanks man... it's been a long hard road.

Not so sure about that June rate skip. There is chatter of a ¼ point move up.

Now that the debt ceiling has been lifted, we have an action-packed agenda for Treasury auctions next week. About $300B in liquidity about to be soaked up. Treasury needs to fill their coffers! I personally like the look those 21-day bills at 6.326% This, of course, will ripple through the...

Thanks for posting. What tool is this? Why are you backtesting ticker "IEP?" (Icahn Enterprises)? What does this have to do with JEPI? Typo? What is "screener" Where is JEPI on this chart? I don't see a line in the key. I don't see any dividend payments for IEP; note that JEPI is known for...
