Mayday's Account Talk

[Birchtree]

You just discovered the value of dividends and reinvestment over time. Dividend income is usually fairly stable and does increase as company earnings increase.

$UST2Y-+2.27%
$UST5Y-+3.12%
$UST10Y-+2.70%
2-5-and-10 year treasury note yields climed higher today resting on the bottom bollinger bands of each chart
When intrest rates rise F-fund falls.
When intrest rates fall F-fund rises.
I believe the F-fund is exposed to a credit defalt risk stemming from the governments inability to raise the debt limit.

Very cheery Fed outlook on the economy.
A good outlook for the economy would be for our government to reduce spending.

Trying to get a scalp are we?

 

[mayday]

I don't know whay you mean by that. It looks like Ben already got scalped. What a Bevis.

Scalp=quick profit

I wouldn't bother with the F, lay in the weeds and get an easy one from the wild and wooly I fund, that thing is wacko.

Aye. And may the luck O' the Irish be with you, and the wind at your back, and whatever voodoo / good luck token you can think of.

Well I thought it was going to be a scalp, I thought you stood a good chance of escaping with a gain, it's a tough market to trade under these conditions.

It was a rough month for me. I might get buy with losing 1%

The I -fund is too volatile for me too many variables.
