10/11 of my watchlist stocks are up today, but the Dow is down. Pretty neat.

Yeah, we probably hit the local bottom. I made a bunch of money in a few hours this morning buying calls on my holdings that got sewered like SQ...just profit off the wave back up in the short term to buy more for the long term...

My watchlist is down to ARKK, ARKG, and AAPL. Everything else is index funds, etc. that I have no intention of really following.

FUBO and PTON are 1 and 2 on my list today in terms of performance.

Since CDs have been trash for the last few years, and savings accounts earn pennies, I think I'm going to open some I-bonds this month and next month. They're much more attractive than letting this money sit in a .50% APY savings account, that's for damn sure. https://www.treasurydirect.gov/indiv/pr ... glance.htm

Jason Zweig of the WSJ wrote a pretty compelling article on I-bonds a few months ago. Seem like a pretty good deal.

A friend of mine was telling me about these over thanksgiving break. Seems like the only setback is you don’t earn interest for 3/12 months. Other than that, it earns at a decent clipJason Zweig of the WSJ wrote a pretty compelling article on I-bonds a few months ago. Seem like a pretty good deal.

Imo the most compelling thing is that even *with* the early withdrawal penalty, you are still getting a much better return than you would on a laughable pathetic run of the mill money market account or CD

Do these compound interest too? Also, do you lock in the interest rate at purchase for the life of the bond or can it be variable...?Since CDs have been trash for the last few years, and savings accounts earn pennies, I think I'm going to open some I-bonds this month and next month.

Here's an article that explains it far better than I can: https://tipswatch.com/2021/10/14/i-bond ... -november/
The drawbacks are that you're limited to $10k per calendar year (or $25k per married couple if you do it at tax time, as you can get an extra $5k), and that you can't touch it for at least 12 months. Redeemed before 5 years is up and you pay a 3-month interest penalty, which is still outstanding compared to CDs, where most charge 90-180 days interest.
And a second article on this: https://tipswatch.com/2021/11/01/i-bond ... s-to-7-12/

Aw yeah, three paycheck month, and bigger paychecks thanks to my 403b contributions already being maxed out. Just in time to pay for the damn washer, dryer, freezer, and timeshares.

I bought a bunch of SPY calls when it hit 455. Sold them when SPY got to like 462 or 463 yesterday. Turned 260% in less than 24 hours. Haven't looked at anything today as I've been tied up with work stuff...
