yeah, i don't really talk about positions here so much because I don't want people to take any advice off the internet about their own finances but I saw the green in premarket and just walked away until it tanked. and now I am happy.

Today's market can best be described as a flight back to poor quality, because high quality was already over-booked.

I've had my 401k in an old-man portfolio since like April 2019, so I am sort of thinking of increasing the % of equities soon. Just haven't decided yet what my trigger point is.

Sold my house last November, bought a new one at half the cost, put some of the money into the market. Won't need to touch any of it for many, many years. Which is good, because these people are fucking nuts.

Pretty confident what the WH does in terms of stimulus will be the wrong thing and will be ineffective. But before they realize that, they will do the wrong thing again, claiming there wasn't enough of the wrong thing done the first time.

When DJIA breaks below 20,000 I'll know it's getting a bit more serious. In 2008 iirc a 13,000 DJIA was near all time highs and the crash took it down to ~6,000. So, this is still far, far above the mid-aughts bull market highs.

if they're forced to do it then they still have to issue refunds to people who file now, but they don't get the income. seems bad.
― 𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Wednesday, 11 March 2020 20:12 (four years ago) link
there was news today that they are recommending extending the deadline.

we filed last week, fortunately

i thought that new tax income is put aside, intended for use the following fiscal year? i could be way wrong on that. but it would be very bad financial practice to rely on new tax revenue for payments due in the next few months.

In other words, the incumbent administration's SOP. But don't call it completely ineffective; it's been markedly functional at putting even more money in the hands of the 1 percent.
I'd like to see a field trial of basic universal income in households directly impacted by service industry contraction. But I'm not holding my breath.

i suppose the less wealthy half of the world could grab some pitchforks and go after the 8 wealthiest men, doubling their wealth in the process, but the problem is those 8 rich dudes are really, really hard to find and tricky to pin down

you know it will be lotsa tax cuts and subsidies for a few mega-corporations. maybe some unemployment insurance bones tossed to the laid off workers, but nothing about health care. it's always helpful to have a dysfunctional government during a global pandemic.

You'll feel better about your 401k if you look at a longer view of the chart. Like 2,3,5 years.
