When you look at my charts from yesterday, now is a good time to get your fixed-income house in order. After a certain point in an investor’s life, there’s a time to recognize that, “Self, I might not want to work forever. How am I going to make ends meet?” Believe Your Survival Guy when […]
Three of My Favorite Charts
Your Survival Guy studies these charts daily: Action Line: Keep your eye on what’s happening, and let’s talk. Originally posted on Your Survival Guy.
What if Today’s Opinions Are Wrong?
I would be surprised if the average investor understands how major securities indices are composed. Take the S&P 500, for example. It’s a market cap weighted index. What’s a market cap, and how is it calculated? It’s surprising to me how little attention this gets. Market capitalization is the value of all the shares of […]
Dow 38,000 and Beyond
Let’s not get too excited about Dow 38,000. Your Survival Guy remembers when we hit Dow 10,000 in 1999. As you can see, we crossed that bridge again and again. What’s always amazing to me is how short the average investor’s memory is (you’re not average, dear reader). Look how long it took for Dow […]
What We Learned from New Hampshire
Your Survival Guy’s (snow)boots on the ground intelligence is simple: Trump won in a landslide in a state where too much blood and treasure has been lost to senseless political wars. Trump won big in eight of nine counties, with big wins in all the counties that border Massachusetts. Talk about a border election. Yes, […]
Citigroup to Layoff 20,000, Schwab Stock Down 24%
When Citigroup lays off 20,000 employees, as it announced last week it will do by 2026, then Your Survival Guy concludes: not all is right with the financial world. When Charles Schwab’s stock, the largest publicly traded U.S. brokerage, declines by 17% as it did last year and was down seven percent through Friday of […]
How’s Vanguard GNMA with YTM of 4.6%?
If you hold Vanguard GNMA like I do, then you will be pleased to know, regardless of its price being down, that as of 12/31/23, its yield to maturity was 4.6%. Sure, it’s been a rough ride for its price from the aftershock of historic interest rate hikes. But as you all know, Your Survival […]
There Is Nothing like Paris in the Spring. Enjoy!
I wrote this to you back in November of 2022. Your Survival Guy: GNMA, L’Ami Louis, and You Happy Friday. I want you to go to the most controversial restaurant in all of Paris. But first, a bit of business. As you know, Your Survival Guy isn’t big on selling positions. My default position is […]
Your Life on Main Street will Never be the Same
With DeSantis dropping out, Florida is the big winner in retaining America’s #1 governor with a huge future. Let Trump roll. He’s best positioned to fight for Main Street USA. It’s important to focus on what Main Street Americans want. As I wrote to you back On June 18, 2020: Your Survival Guy’s thoughts on […]
Where Will Bill Belichick Go? Bill Parcells’s Take
In the book Parcells: A Football Life by Bill Parcells and Nunyo Demasio, you learn how back in 2007, Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank almost landed the Big Tuna as vice president of football operations. Meeting at Parcells’s home in Saratoga Springs it was quite the sequence with Blank in Parcells’s library cooling his heels […]
