At what rate on current ibonds you hold, does it make sense to sell then buy at 1.1% fixed. Considering 3 mo interest penalty

^ dude who wants $80k cars. With long rates at 4+% the PP is great even in accumulation. Because anyone with an interest in it understands money. The concept of working and saving as much as you can. And PP folks also aren't gambling types. It would be unwise to talk someone out of the portfolio. If...

First gave them normal check because I wasnt expecting to need it, they told me nothing down on reddit. Ive only written a few paper checks in my 50 years so forgot to get check number. When it bounced they wanted cashiers check. Citi custom cash is 5% back grocery. Still looking for more than 2% on...

Wasnt expecting problems so didnt write check number. And not used to writing checks. Gave cashiers check and they claim they'll refund the 500 they overcharged (on top of 3k markup). CA also doing low income grants for heat pumps and contractor you're forced to work with overcharges. I might agree ...

Highest yielding emergency fund. Was in it in case I have to liquidate for cancer treatment or something, but hyperinflation/civil unrest is something I'd have a better chance of buying my way out of.

Re: New tariffs on Swiss kilo and 100toz gold bars
Commies lament that Americans will pay tariffs. So? We pay tax either way. As if its "empathy" like covid (the seniors!) and not an effort to twist the narrative against conservatives. You can tell CCP will eat most of the tariffs by how riled up they are, astroturfing reddit. And the fact...

Re: Vanguard adds non-diversification warning to Total Stock Market
A type of Sunk-cost fallacy. eg I think gold is too expensive and would tell someone not to buy. Meanwhile I hold because Im committed as if it were a house you cant easily unload. Paper assets are liquid, you're buying back in everyday

Gold isnt an investment, it doesnt do work like a house or a tractor. Its savings, and it doesnt go up, its dollar going down.
