    We went from an average rate north of 7% to below 3%. Saving over 16Gs a year in interest.

    noiceee. I'm gonna jump on that train soon. did you do much in the way of research in terms of D:I or number of payments made before you pulled the trigger? our income numbers are high but we're only 2 months into repayment on like 25% of our loans.

    We used a combination of debt sources but started with Sofi. Then were were able to pull home equity and even a family loan and now we are under 3% overall. Sofi only works with certain schools, used to be top 100 schools or something. Probably getting more lax these days.

    I wouldn't buy student loans from some idiot that got a history degree from Keene state over 6 years or some shit.

    If you work for the govt or any non profit (hospital), check this out.

    Berkshire breaking out. 18 month high. BRK is the opposite side of a hedge trade vs SPY. When BRK starts leading its bullish growth equity.

    When will the professional traders learn not to fight the FED. Is this merely cheap insurance to hedge their long positions or do they know something we don't?

    It appears that Paul Tudor Jones is even more bearish than George Soros, based on the surge in the fund's S&P puts, which rose from $490 million notional to $1.7 billion notional, a nearly four-fold increase, and making it the biggest such position in the fund's history. In fact, as of this moment, PTJ's gross put exposure amounts to 37% of his entire disclosed long equity exposure of just over $4.7 billion.
    Never in U.S. history has the public chosen leadership this malevolent. The moral clarity of their decision is crystalline, particularly knowing how Trump will regard his slim margin as a “mandate” to do his worst. We’ve learned something about America that we didn’t know, or perhaps didn’t believe, and it’ll forever color our individual judgments of who and what we are.

    They don't play the game like the 401K jockeys who are content with single digit returns and beating the S&P by 50 bps. Its about bragging rights and dick swinging at that level.

    "Notional value" could be 100x or more the actual cost of the position. Options are a math game but Tudor Jones became legend with directional bets.

    Derivatives market level is useless. Eurodollar futures themselves count the same as a dollar of subprime credit in terms of MV.

    Anyway...fucked up market in nat gas today. Inventories up big and after a quick small drop early, it's back up over 2%.

    I bought VZ and T on margin today. Saw some action in interest rates and currency and made a move. Timeframe is less than 12 months but could be long term.

    I'm not sure there will be fireworks after Labor Day. There often is but I'm not expecting it.

    I would think VZ would only trend down for ~year, loosing customers to sprint and tmobile. I had a falling out with verizon and they offered me a $600 visa gift card to come back, but I'm happy with my $40 tmobile unlimited plan.

    2% gain since I bought it at $52.60 on Friday and the dividend is covered out of fcf without borrowing money. T is riskier imo. Since I bought on margin and have several other high dividend payers I am comfortable managing the positions.

    I bought these stocks without regard to earnings or business growth. I own KO and JPM for the same reason.

    Quiet Buy It. I have never seen a more quiet market after a Beige Book.

    Credit Suisse trying to put in a low. That's bullish global equity.

    Nice little Sonata you got there. Be a shame if something happened to it...
