​Meh . . . . . .
Good start yesterday but then ended sort of flat. More of the same today??? I saw CAT earnings came in fairly good this morning. That might help in general. Who knows .......
All I know for sure is that I did not hit the Powerball again . Someone in Arizona did.

A unique window of opportunity exists this month. By purchasing I-bonds in April, you can lock in the current 7.1% interest rate for the next six months. After that, you’ll receive the new rate of 9.6% for the six months that follow. Because the interest earned on I-bonds compounds every six months, your total return over the next 12 months will be 8.5%.


Something to consider . . . . . .

​Last day to a very disappointing month.
​I hope some of you were lucky enough to maybe make some gains. I'm looking at those I-Bonds that will be paying out 9.6% starting in May. That definitely beats what my bank Savings is paying, that's for sure.
GOOD LUCK !!!!!

Trying to get back to 0% for the year!

Your doing better than me. I'm at -2.88% after I got slaughtered in January. I'm just waiting for that precise moment to jump in. It takes a lot of patience. Something that I don't have much of, so it's a challenge.
It's gonna be a while, but it's coming. Don't want to jump too soon. That could be bad.

Hey, I resemble the remark.

Some more good info on I-Bonds. https://www.forbes.com/advisor/inves...t-are-i-bonds/
​I'm doing my DD before making a decision. I've learned a few things about "limits" (how much you can invest annually), Maturity of the Bond, and timeframe of cashing out the Bond. All good stuff to know.

OMG ..... What a catastrophic ending to a horrible month.

Can we please switch out the current TSP I fund with this "I fund" for one year?
