re: Buying Property Must Do's

[quote]quote for my window replacements was over $330k[/quote] The topic of this thread is things one should look for when buying an entry-level townhome. The 330k quote you claim to have received from Anderson is 20k less than the asking price the OP is looking at. He's not interested in unexpec...

re: Best way to play VIX

Posted by williejameshuft on 11/30/23 at 8:40 am
I can explain the basis of my post above but I’m not comfortable telling you what to buy or when. Your real theory is that the SPY will fall over a 6-12 month period. The way the VIX operates is pretty complicated, and there’s no way you modeled an upside move in volatility if you’re asking the ques...

re: Best way to play VIX

Posted by williejameshuft on 11/29/23 at 3:21 pm
I'm assuming your theory is the S&P will fall and cause the Vix to rise during your 6-12 month timeframe. If that's the case, it would probably make the most sense to buy longer dated S&P puts while the premium is depressed by the low Vix. For once, I agree with Hussss. Unless you time VXX and V...

This is probably far beneath the expertise level of everyone on this thread, but I've had pretty good success running a wheel-like strategy on UNG weeklies every time natural gas gets within spitting distance of $2. The premiums are surprisingly high for what I think is a pretty safe trade as long a...

re: Traditional v ROTH 401(k)

Posted by williejameshuft on 2/10/23 at 4:05 pm
The way I understand it is marginal tax rate is the primary consideration, but only if the tax savings from traditionally contributions will result in you contributing more to your 401k each year than you would make in Roth contributions. If you're hitting the max 401k contribution limit every year ...

What's Going On With Bond Yields?

Posted by williejameshuft on 12/15/22 at 12:24 pm
Anyone have any thoughts about why all durations of bond yields have continued to fall since October despite nothing but hawkish talk from the fed? Flight to safety or disbelief that the fed will follow through with the rate hikes? Or something else altogether?...
