Bought some gold 2 weeks ago, and now I'm looking at silver.
Yesterday I boosted my position in Citigroup. Everybody was panicking over Italy's bonds so financials were dropping, but not a single bank holds even one full percent of its assets in Italian bonds, and they just renegotiated at a higher rate. The sheep get scared and I just get a little more mint jelly for my leg of lamb.

At least ya didn’t join the sheep and get led to the slaughter by that faux shepherd Bill Gross...
Bill Gross' Janus unconstrained bond fund drops to last in peer group
The fund run by Bill Gross, which dropped more than 3 percent on Tuesday alone, plunged to last in its peer category so far this year, according to Lipper data on Wednesday.
Gross' $2.1 billion Janus Henderson Global Unconstrained Bond Fund is now down 6 percent this year, the research service's data showed.
Gross, once considered the "Bond King" of Wall Street, co-founded Newport Beach, California-based Pacific Investment Management Co in 1971 but left abruptly in 2014 and moved over to Janus.

As for Dick's, just give the NRA a little time and wait for the other shoe to drop.
I doubt very much that their boost in sales is due to libtard gratitude. It is more likely due to the gen-x health craze and the onset of spring.

I have some munies for the tax advantage, but avoid bonds (a way to slowly lose money).
Bought some more Citigroup today.

tremendous profits are being made on the short side of the equities markets
short interest, new short positions, is up sharply at the swing high
the pros are short, they know when and how to protect their profits, and right now they are staying short looking for lower prices
verification of the strong short professional interest can be, well you all know how to find it

Word on the street is that the bigger developers aren't taking any new projects. The influx of Real Esrate investment dollars is drying up, the economy isn't making real jobs. Only the leeches in the market are making money and the middle class is about to get a fresh hosing.

Not with low inflation. If I was 25 would I have bonds? No.
It’s all about portfolio preservation these days.

I'm still a bull.
In so many ways.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m still 50% bullish.
I’m just in my ‘querencia’. 😉

I'm getting a little more-skeered, when a conservative financial newspaper sounds both anti-Trump & skeered.
From Investor's Business Daily.
Recession fears are flaring as Trump's trade war has markets behaving in a way not seen since the financial crisis
If you want evidence of how President Donald Trump's trade war is affecting investor nerves, look no further than the widespread damage inflicted upon US stocks in recent days.
Beyond that, if you're looking for a hint as to what the future holds, an even more ominous signal is forming in the Treasury market.
The metric in question is the spread between two- and 10-year Treasury yields, which has fallen to its lowest level since 2007 — the period immediately preceding the most recent financial crisis.
More bad-news here: http://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/recession-fears-are-flaring-as-trumps-trade-war-has-markets-behaving-in-a-way-not-seen-since-the-financial-crisis/ar-AAzbvju?li=BBnb7Kz
& the article ends with this:
It's all part of a massive puzzle investors and experts are trying to piece together. At this point, only one thing is for sure: The cries for a recession are getting louder, and risk-off behavior is getting more pronounced.
What happens next is anyone's guess.

blahblah! Per your hysteria:

Per most all my posts on this thread, I'm a cautious Buy & mostly hold, kind of fellow. Right now, I'm not buying.

Bought some silver when it dropped below $16.
My transport, drugs, financial, energy and construction plays keep the dividends pouring in.

VERY interesting article on Reuters today about the Fed’s efforts to re-interpret, if you will, the old metrics on inflation and recession. New analysis indicated the most ballyhooed, the inverted yield curve, may not be as accurate as formerly believed. WOOT!
Goodbye inverted yield curve? Fed looks for alternative signals to guide policy
^^^^ That’s the title of the article which I read on the app. If any of you crankloons are interested in anything meaningful, I mean as opposed to Locker’s whereabouts, you can do yer own research.

Reminds me of all the "new economy" talk during the dotcom bubble. Parameters may change. But not the basic principles. Bull markets always end. And the signs are always there.
