I give up at this point....... Who knows which way it's gonna end up :dunno: ? ? ? ?
F&G is pretty much the same.



I'm not even gonna bother with the Market today. The weathers turning nice in my area, and I got other things to do, PLUS have a little fun !!!!

Is there blood in the streets yet? I still say a little patience will pay off, at least until that low gap is filled on the S Fund chart.

YUK ....... they changed up the F&G graphics. I like the old one better, but what do I know........:blink: Change for the sake of change I guess........

A quote from Ira this morning:
"And I am not convinced you're going to get the amount of rate hikes you think. The percentage amount might be there.......they may go to 75-point hikes to get this thing over quicker so they can get into an easing mode to get the economy back on it's feet quicker. Don't forget what I just said. It's a very big possibility."

​Meh . . . . . . :indifferent:
Good start yesterday but then ended sort of flat. More of the same today??? I saw CAT earnings came in fairly good this morning. That might help in general. Who knows ....... :dunno:
All I know for sure is that I did not hit the Powerball again . Someone in Arizona did.

This month's felt like:

Interesting FYI / I-Bonds

A unique window of opportunity exists this month. By purchasing I-bonds in April, you can lock in the current 7.1% interest rate for the next six months. After that, you’ll receive the new rate of 9.6% for the six months that follow. Because the interest earned on I-bonds compounds every six months, your total return over the next 12 months will be 8.5%.


Something to consider . . . . . . :fing02:

​Last day to a very disappointing month.
​I hope some of you were lucky enough to maybe make some gains. I'm looking at those I-Bonds that will be paying out 9.6% starting in May. That definitely beats what my bank Savings is paying, that's for sure.
GOOD LUCK !!!!!

Trying to get back to 0% for the year! :suspicious:

 

[Epic]

Your doing better than me. I'm at -2.88% after I got slaughtered in January. I'm just waiting for that precise moment to jump in. It takes a lot of patience. Something that I don't have much of, so it's a challenge.
It's gonna be a while, but it's coming. Don't want to jump too soon. That could be bad.

 

[WorkFE]

Don't want to jump too soon.

Hey, I resemble the remark.

 

[Epic]

Some more good info on I-Bonds. https://www.forbes.com/advisor/investing/what-are-i-bonds/
​I'm doing my DD before making a decision. I've learned a few things about "limits" (how much you can invest annually), Maturity of the Bond, and timeframe of cashing out the Bond. All good stuff to know. :smile:

 

[Epic]

OMG ..... What a catastrophic ending to a horrible month.

 

[jonfresno]

Can we please switch out the current TSP I fund with this "I fund" for one year?

Good Morning. I want so bad for May to be a better month than April, but I'm just not feelin it. Keeping my fingers crossed though and trying to be optimistic. :worried:
I'm gonna throw 10K (the yearly limit) into I-Bonds today. I believe the rate starting today is 9.62%. I'll have to double check. My Capital One Savings is currently only .6%, so doing this is a no brainer if you can tolerate locking those funds down for a year or more.
Futures are all over the place this morning, so it may be a crazy day. It was all RED 10 minutes ago, and now it's all GREEN
GOOD LUCK ! ! ! !

Almost to 'extreme fear,' does that mean that we're almost to 'blood in the streets?'

They used to have a longer term chart of this index on https://www.cnn.com/markets/fear-and-greed where you could see the levels back years - during the COVID crash, for example. But it looks like they've taken that off that page for some reason.

If I remember correctly we did see single digits in this indicator during that crash.

 

[Epic]

Yeah, we've been in EXTREME FEAR a few times before. 2-24-22 and 2-28-22 when I looked back in my posts (most recently), but I don't recall single digit times. There may have been, but I just don't remember. :hypnotized:
