With about $7.5 Trillion of US Gov debt to be issued / refinanced in 2024, I think most of that debt will be issued at 2 years or less for many reasons. If we assume that is correct, and that Gov Debt demand can't keep up with supply then short term rates will continue higher and long term rates may spike even more (who wants a 30 year bond at 6% if you can get a 6 month note or money market at 7%?).
In this scenerio, Utility stocks seem to be in a ba
Whilst violence in this part of the world is not unusual, it seems like it is different this time, with Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, saying they are now "at war".
According to the OEC, the top exports of Israel are:
- Diamonds ($9.06B)
- Integrated Circuits ($5.09B)
- Refined Petroleum ($2.73B)

There isnt even any changes in its business other than some firm upgraded their stock to buy. In this high interest and recessionary environment, disney should be hurting bad. It plans on borrowing 60b to upgrade its parks meanwhile it's hemorrhaging money on streaming. Yes, it probably is the only true competitor netflix but netflix is also hurting bad right now. Disney has no clear path to increasing profits in the near term. They also recently lowered pri

Currently, the 1 Month Treasury is yielding 5.429% whereas long term duration bonds are yielding much less. Is it too good to be true or could I theoretically invest a million dollars in T-bills and get 54k a month later and then keep rolling this money over? Why would someone buy longer duration bonds and what risk am I not accounting for in this scenario?
I'm new to trading stocks, started maybe 5 months ago. I've taken a pretty conservative approach so far, made a little money but nothing major. Haven't even approached options because I don't understand them yet.
Long story short I bought a few stocks on Wednesday when everything crashed sharply. I set a stop loss for each stock at an appropriate level for my risk tolerance below my buy level to allow a little room to breathe.

Hi, I have a company 401k, and I can't choose individual stocks, but there are lots of different funds I can choose between. When I set it up, I didn't have a ton of time to research all the funds but I included an international fund (MDIHX) to get exposure to non-us stocks.
However, I've learned more about stocks in general since then. And it seems like MDIHX is lower volatility and lower overall returns than a regular US fund (i.e. S&P5

I don’t buy funds, I don’t pay an advisor, I don’t do what everyone else does
I research, pick, and buy my own stocks / bonds. Of course I maintain a healthy balance between stocks and bonds based on my own research
Anybody else?
Edit***
My rule is as long as I consistently beat the market I’m okay with this approach. If I ever start fucking things up left and right I’ll buy a fund
