The uphill road (investments that yield returns) has dips and swerves, just like the level road ("wealth-preserving" commodities) and the downhill road (dare I say it, fiat?)...
high yield savings accounts up to 2.1 - 2.6% not bad for guaranteed money with no time requirements. Current Futures: DOW Fut: -590 S&P Fut: -72.75 Nasdaq Fut: -255.25 ouch
Speaking of squirrels !!! Earl took to hits with a 12 gauge from my 10 year old grandson yesterday, He did not get a chance to have roasted Squirrel though as the Dog got him and munched most of him before we did.
15 month CD rate at our bank jumped to 2.75%. It had been around .25% but customers were bailing out so the bank was forced to do something.
Horrible isn't it. One of my accounts garnered $0.06 cents last month on one of my holding accts. If I move the money to one of my HY accounts I would get at least $2.00+ out of it just to have some $$ sit there.
Pension funds heavy into bonds need higher rates to stay solvent. The squirrel cage had better suck up the notion that they may not be seeing their walnut welfare entitlement for awhile. https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/...isis/us-pension-crisis-picking-up-full-speed/
Today's luncheon cuisine on the cheap. One can of Hormel chili $1.50, one can of Popeye spinach $1.29, one pack of Ramen noodles 25c. No walnuts, acorns, tree bark, or psychedelic mushrooms allowed.
Or needed, from the looks of it. (Only kidding, some of my go-to quick meals look worse than that. And, as I used to tell my kids, "it'll look worse by the time you're done with it.")
The money saved on that meal will be long lost when you have to factor in health costs associated with consuming so much sodium. Check the daily value on the ramen pack and chili can. You will have consumed around twice as much sodium for the a whole DAY as you did in this single MEAL.
Tell it to the blood pressure machine --117/71 this past Tuesday. And I'll be having a bag of popcorn tonight while watching the politically incorrect Al Bundy on Married with Children.
think of ppl's Bloodpressure when PMs consistently go down and some ppl think that's due to manipulation and they pull their hair out over it. Lost $$$ in PMs compared to cash.
They'll probably get their mutual fund statement in a few days. Maybe they should save some hair for that...Winky Winky.
Yeah .. that could hurt. I pulled out a while ago. have my money sitting in CASH becz that's the only thing going up lately. Even though the market is in the 22s, which I thought might be a good time to get in .. I'm not sure yet so I'm holding off. The technicals are good. everything else isn't.
