Sold JPM and BRK.B today. They were both trades of opportunity after Brexit. I like some yield plays into the end of the year. Just like last year.
Junk has not sold off much and if yield were really in trouble it would be getting hammered.

Gold is getting crushed. I wonder what the excuse to buy is now that the gun club got their boy?

Biggest mistake the NRA could have ever made was backing Trump. There's no fear factor that HRC will take America's guns away. Looking to watch inventory build up.Quote:

Homework for today: google index dispersion
4m-you looking etf's? Spreads had been widening for a couple months but the carry kept HY in the game. IG corps were getting hurt as they lacked the carry.
Best trade I saw this qtr was short tips/ long BE inflation through swaps.
Look at a chart for JNK and the hy index in 2008/2009. It's not even close.Quote:

I bought leveraged munis today with a limit order and looking to buy more before year end.
My PFF is getting crushed but it should be ok if banks do better. It's not down because of sone crisis.
I might have to sell some HY.
Long term capital gains tax rate is 15% unless you are in the highest tax bracket where it is 20%. I am old and have been through the dot com crash and the housing crisis. I sold nothing during dot com, did a little paring back of equity's in 2007 / 2008 but that was it. It worked out, you just have to be prepared to accept some bumps in the road. Even now being retired I am still over weighted stocks. The biggest change is more cash then when I was working. Individual stocks, ETF's and low cost Vanguard or Fidelity funds. Mutual Funds with high fess are a return killer.
Everbank has a one year teaser MM @ 1.1% for up to $250K.Quote:

Ps- where's bromontana...the fuck is going on in nat gas?
Natgas is busy dropping 40% due to an utter lack of winter from what I've seen. It wiped out around 5 good trades, depressing shit.
On the plus side, my Carrera is in the early stages of losing its motor. So I'm only out 24 grand or so.
Anyone have a handgun I can borrow?
That sucks. IMS-related or something else?
Zapped post where I cry
I'm surprised when people believe some small company can materially improve an ultra high performance racing engine built by a company with 75 years of successful racing history. If Porsche could add horsepower and reliability they would have.Quote:
