Saw a head line

Market Crashing! Forced me to log on to something and check a market view. Vix looks interesting but crashing? Will look at the close later. I am paying attention to interest for cds and bonds.
Have totally lost all appetite for risk.

Crossed something off my bucket list.

1. Spend three months in New York City.

Re: Anybody Buying?

PAYX was one I used to swing trade because it was so sensitive to interest rates. I almost wish I still had an Morningstar account. If payrolls are going up and interest rates going up, it should be on a list to check on.

Re: Anybody Buying?

I am no longer fit . The progressive arthritis every where has super slowed me down. I am so glad I enjoyed my outdoor lifestyle because turning 65 put an end to most of that. At 70 it is a painful slow go. I was depressed for a while but doubled my [more]

Re: Anybody Buying?

In the 2010 flash crash, I had a few low ball limit orders hanging out there. Either the market went by to fast or someone decided they weren’t valid within a certain range. None hit.

New GOP tax bill

Just checking in to see if there was any conversation about the new tax bill. I have been looking at my last year's taxes and realize I am not going to have much wiggle room in preparing my taxes in 2018. I am likely in for about a 10% increase [more]

Re: Anyone Home?

70 is not the new 60. I still have a half year to reach 70, but the aging process seems to speed up.
