I don't buy it for the price appreciation. I buy it for the steady dividend. And the dividend is several times the mutiple of the interest on your CDs.

One other point, CD ladder income has increased 30% over the past year.

Considering where they are coming from, that’s not much to brag on.

That is fine, I have been using CDs since they have been giving a higher total yield.

Nope.

Better than buying BLV and losing -3%. I think your Buffetteria will serve you a stock meal that will give you investor indigestion.

Treasuries are most definitely superior to CDs as an investment instrument.

Yup - bonds have been pretty bad for the past year or so

I don't see any logic to looking at just price tho - the whole point of a bond is the coupon.

My biggest bond position is TIPS, which are down just 0.36% year to date.

And I hedge interest rate risk with BKLN and FLTR and HYS, all of which are up this year

Hey agip , I believe maser said watch DB .

You seem to not understand the difference between details and generalities.

Textbook projection. You continuously fling pathetic insults on this thread every day and then accuse someone else of doing the same. I will not opine as to whether you do this out of a feeling of intellectual inferiority. I will leave that activity to armchair psychologists like yourself.

You just took what she said about Igy and used the same on her. Could you not come up with anything original?

You apparently can't read as I clearly pointed out that I would not make an assumption as to why you behave in the manner that you do and did not do so.

Also, why no attempt to defend your incorrect use of the word fledgling? Think I would not notice?

Until you stop making grammatical errors, you should stop criticizing how others write.

Now please, enlighten me as to grammatical errors which, apparently unbeknownst to you, does not include " ...lack of proper sentence structure..."

Grammatical error is a term used in prescriptive grammar to describe an instance of faulty, unconventional, or controversial usage, such as a ​misplaced modifier or an inappropriate verb tense. Also called a usage error. Compare grammatical error with correctness.

Grammatical errors are usually distinguished from (though sometimes confused with) factual errors, logical fallacies, misspellings, typographical errors, and faulty punctuation.

^ WTF was that? Can you please learn the simple exercise of using the quote function correctly? As a 5 year old how to do it

So presumably that would include plagiarism.
