That is somewhat true , but corporations will always overstate what their input cost are and understate how much they are inflating their retail prices because this combination makes them look like they’re more productive and also better for society. But it’s all a farce.
I did notice the PCE numbers, but I thought those were supposed to be released on Friday. Are these PCE numbers that were released today the "numbers" everyone has been waiting on or are there some different PCE numbers being released on Friday? I am so confused.
I do not know for sure, but my guess would be that since it is a 20 year bond and rates have been rising recently that it being affected by the price dropping due to rising rates. But there may very well be other factors at play. Would love to hear what other people think
I closed half my position a few days ago... absolutely tanks on the way down and then when it wants to go up it does so quickly so if you are bagholding you can't even sell cc's close to the money cause it will just blow through them when its rally time.
It just seems to me that buying a municipal bond at a very deep discount that has a very low coupon makes no sense because only the coupon interest istax-free and if most of the yield is being generated by the large discounted price, the yield is totally misleading in terms of the portion that is tax-free. The discount and coupon together are what is used to produce the advertise yield. You definitely have factoring all the components that are making up the yield in order to get an accurate picture of the taxable aspects. I feel like this aspect is overlooked by a lot of people.
You are understanding this correctly, but you can adapt a strategy to minimize your taxes. You are correct that many sell at such a deep discount. You can choose to avoid those and look for munis where the discount is within the de minimus rule. I create a filter when I'm looking for munibonds. You have to adjust what the lowest price you are willing to pay depending on the maturity date of the muni bond.
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said Tuesday that it will take "longer than expected" to achieve the confidence needed to get inflation down to the central bank’s 2% target, signaling that it will also likely take longer to cut rates.
If there is one thing we have learn from Israel's invasion of Gaza is, Netanyahu is hellbent on alienating anyone who attacks Israel, regardless of what the rest of the world thinks. Will this time be different?
Something smells fishy about that
Tell me again what you call somebody who will do anything for money?
Would not want to be short GOOG right now
It already came out 3.7% vs 3.4 expected
This is so confusing. All the media said they would be released Friday, but they were released this morning??
Higher inflation means high corporate earnings which means HIGHER stock prices
Higher inflation also means higher costs for corporations, consumer demand destruction, which means LOWER stock prices.

Inflation picked up. Look at PCE.

This CNBC report also says PCE numbers were released today. I thought those were supposed to be released on Friday. Which one is correct?

I agree that nobody knows what the future holds for the economy or for world events.
Time to buy puts
IRS said my refund would be issued on 4/24. Interesting
What is the age on the car? Have you posted issue to
Nice when it works that way.
Yes do it. Nobody ever loses money selling puts on TSLA.
Exactly. I mean it can't go any lower, right?
For sure the numbers will move the stock first and then whatever Elon says later will also move it.
How the fuck did you guys go from Asa to Sanders? Asa has his problems but he's nowhere near corrupt and tone deaf as sanders.
Because Arkansas is a big time red state so who the Republican Party nominates gets the job.
NVDA CSP? Thoughts
Wait
I closed half my position a few days ago... absolutely tanks on the way down and then when it wants to go up it does so quickly so if you are bagholding you can't even sell cc's close to the money cause it will just blow through them when its rally time.
I have 152.50 short puts for 4/26. I will have to roll down
Spy will be attractive at 470$
485 is lower enough for now!
Last I checked, yields were up and bond prices down

So basically you are saying if you are smart about it, it can be a good investment as in truly reaping the tax free benefits without sacrificing much.
Sold CSP on DJT, pray for me 😬
What strike?
40 and 35
You sold strikes that are ITM?

20 year and 3x leveraged 20 year. EDV & TMF
Ouch. And I’m bitching about what’s happening to my 10 year bonds.
This could be over and done with if Israel leaves it alone. Iran has signaled as much.
If there is one thing we have learn from Israel's invasion of Gaza is, Netanyahu is hellbent on alienating anyone who attacks Israel, regardless of what the rest of the world thinks. Will this time be different?
One thing is for sure, how the market opens doesn't mean shit anymore. Crazy intraday moves and reversals lately!
Gotta get that post marked today!!!
It would’ve been a lot cheaper to pay to e-file
