NO...... much safer to take the approach of insurance companies with their index IUL's.Buying what, volatility ETFs? If you’re buying the market when the vix is 17 and selling when it’s 30 you’re likely taking a massive loss LOL
SPX options....

Hey thanks for the feedback guys. (not)Are there still some nice banking gains out there or did I miss the boat. I'm pissed I held onto my Oil stocks too long.
I haven’t checked HYSA rates lately but my MMs are yielding close to 4.5% and I have the ability to put that cash to work in the market at anytime. So, it Gives me a higher rate than a HYSA plus flexibility. And if I need cash I simply do a MM to bank transfer.in terms of yield wouldn’t a money market fund net around the same as a HYSA?
awful
NVDA going to the moon as well. Both powered by AI.MSFT to 350 within a year a possibility again. Seemed like an impossibility until Chat GPT started writing code…among other things.
What's so awful about it? Seems like a non-government solution to a private sector problem. Only government involvement seems to be helping to coordinate the various entities involved.awful
internally I'm hearing, 'are you kidding me'
I can’t believe everyone is actually falling for this. The whales will be able to get out with gains after all.People loving BTC as the banking system is in crisis:
Just like Peter Thiel and VCs causing the run on SVB and wiping out all shareholders? LOL.I can’t believe everyone is actually falling for this. The whales will be able to get out with gains after all.

Did some modest buying of funds/etfs to maintain allocations. VTV, VIG, VB, VONE, DODGX. Positioned some of our new cash to the appropriate accounts, so this is ready to go whenever the time comes.Financials repricing the new reality. PNC looks good but waiting till the financials stop going down. I guess most of them will cut their dividends. AXP probably a good buy but will probably hit the 52 week low before it bottoms. Some of the industrials coming down fast but were overpriced.
No, but just like Peter Thiel got his money out before SVB went under, the whales will sell before the next BTC sell off.Just like Peter Thiel and VCs causing the run on SVB and wiping out all shareholders? LOL.
Anyone can sell BTC and take profit as they see fit.
They’re whales because they own and hold a shitload of BTC. They don’t dump. Maybe sell a bit every now and thenNo, but just like Peter Thiel got his money out before SVB went under, the whales will sell before the next BTC sell off.
So BTC is just like every other investment option out there? Thanks for the insights! LOL.No, but just like Peter Thiel got his money out before SVB went under, the whales will sell before the next BTC sell off.
Yup, super transparent investment. LOLSo BTC is just like every other investment option out there? Thanks for the insights! LOL.
Govs have tremendous indirect power/influence over banks.They just said no recently, Swiss gov must be giving them a nudge from behind and some guarantees.
"Economists are now estimating that 186 banks may be prone to the same risks as Silicon Valley Bank, per WSJ. This number is likely even higher as the pressures that regional banks are facing are ramping up. The government has put itself in a spot where they must backstop all banks for now. What they did for SVB must be done for everyone until panic subsides. Costly is an understatement."
No secret that COVID stimulus was always somewhat a Keynesian experiment. Stimulus during the Great Recession due to the Global Financial-fraud Crisis in ‘08 was very modest by comparison and the resulting inflation proved to be transitory by any measure.Midsize US Banks Ask FDIC to Insure Deposits for Two Year
Warnings were issued long before any Ukraine business:
New York CNN Business —
Larry Summers is urging Washington to tap the brakes on stimulus — or risk unleashing a serious burst of inflation.
“I think policy is rather overdoing it,” Summers said in recorded comments at a CoinDesk conference that were released Wednesday. “The sense of serenity and complacency being projected by the economic policymakers, that this is all something that can easily be managed, is misplaced."

Now talks of a bondholder haircut lolDid you see UBS wants to be able to cancel the deal if the CDS goes above 100? That's a deal killer imo.
Now the swiss gov't is floating the idea of nationalizing the bank. Lots of negotiating left before futures open tonight!
absolute $hitshowNow talks of a bondholder haircut lol
Glad I left there last year![]()

At this point anyone still long in CS deserves to be caught holding the bagNice.
