Re: Putin Invades Ukraine II

Indeed, martial law over a cold, pushed by the Left was unprecedented dysfunction.

Took 9 years to bleed out the Russians in Afghanistan.

Yes, along with Vanguard. Asset holders + homeowners are the most powerful lobby. They arent going to allow assets to drop nominally in USD, for very long. The governance issues are interesting, with Blackrock and Vanguard CEOs voting on your behalf https://old.reddit.com/r/Bogleheads/comments/14771...

Its not that AI is going to outsmart us, its that the easy jobs it might replace are important, they keep people in a routine and away from drugs. many smart people will choose to do nothing when they have UBI and social media.

Re: Just made a purchase at 5.088 for 30 year LTTs

EDV down 33% since launch in 08. I backed up the truck early August at 3.3% 12-Month Yield. Today it's 4%. 5.17% SEC yield.

Trading it is pain. Can swing 2.5% in a day. Setting your limit order just outside the previous day's trading range is good enough I suppose.
