Yes. Shorter term debt. Already done. Possibly floating bank rate, although I'm not there yet. Lessened yield stocks, but that's already done as well. I'm thinking if you haven't done anything, you might consider not doing anything immediately. Catch me on PT, I'll go into more detail about my thought process.

Anything in TIPS? The concern is inflation, but TIPS have fallen with the rest of the bond market this year.

, I'm not going to follow you around. I'm just asking generic questions for the thread.

Apparently this account had 120K shares of SVXY on margin and rode it all the day down two days ago and again today.

Seems absurd for a retail account

All the news during this has been good news. Good news is bad news again.

Until the Fed assures that they wont hike hard and fast allowing the economy to cool slowly I think you will see a slow movement downward.
Inflation is still under control.
Market is spooked by inflation concerns thus rate hikes again sooner than what the FED has hinted (which was mid year 2018).
I actually think rate hikes will be good for the economy. Short the market; bet for volatility to ensue; get into some short term debt instruments and money markets.
Going long right now is not a good idea in my opinion.

In the long run I've paid more premium than I have received benefit. But even that isn't as obvious as it would seem. In the long run when I've collected the insurance settlement, it has allowed me to buy at near market lows, or at a minimum, lower lows. It worked perfectly during the great recession, and the bull market that followed.
Why couldn’t you just save this premium in a money market account and then buy even more stock at the “near market lows”

We printed more money in the last 8 years with no inflation and now it is a concern? So they raise rates, so what? We are still at really low rates. It’s not like we are going to be at 5-6%.

When rates hit the low to mid 3s which I think will be in 8-16 months I think we will start to see this bull die out.

Based on what exactly?
I really want to be an a-hole, but I’ve been warned against it

Why?
ETA: the futures are now losing steam.

I’m ready for the fed to announce a delay in rate hikes and the DJIA’s first 3000 point day in history
