I’m a financial novice, but I think bonds will have a better return over the next several months (4-7) than cash. At least that’s what I’m betting on.

I'm moving it slowly, but yes it will not be cash.

I have a stable index fund and several bond funds as options.

I just cannot afford a 50% or greater fall like we had with the housing bubble.

It’s like musical chairs for adults. Adults that want suicide to not be the best option for leaving something to their children.

Dude, 8 long boxes full of Shadowhawk #1 are going to pay off.

There was a hot minute, during COVID, where that joke had spread far enough that newbies really believed it, and the book spiked to $50. It didn’t last longer than two weeks, but those were 14 glorious days.

Hah--I had no idea that was a bygone joke. I just tried to think of the worst 90s comic with the most speculation.

Trump’s Treasury Secretary Threatens to Punch Housing Official in the Face

The dust-up, at a members-only club in Georgetown, was not the first time Scott Bessent has shown a hot temper.

Scott Bessent was fed up.

For weeks, the Treasury secretary believed that William J. Pulte, the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, was bad-mouthing him to President Trump.

And then, last Wednesday, the two men found each other face to face at the kickoff dinner for the Executive Branch, a members-only club in Georgetown started by the president’s eldest son and a few of his allies.

A back-and-forth by the bar ensued. Mr. Bessent demanded to know why Mr. Pulte was trash-talking him to the president, and then threatened to punch him in the face.
