Twitter price slumps after US considers National Security reviews of some of Musk's companies.
The powers that be sure seem to hate Musk unless they are playing a very clever game of misdirection
Musk has said he cut thousands of jobs at Twitter. That would prove devastating for the company and likely make it irrelevant among social media platforms. The price slump is a reflection of this.

Part of it.
It dropped 5% in pre open trading today.
By the way, what just happened?
The NASDAQ was down over 1% and jumped up to near even in one minute's time.

Doesn't the market usually like job reductions?
Not if it means the company will go down the tubes.

some rumors about the Fed blinking, I think. Concern about not breaking too much stuff.
when the VIX is over 30 it is prone to sharp moves up like this.

Short term treasuries flat for the week....SP500 seems to find support in the 3600-3650 range....Bank of Japan has blinked, Bank of England has blinked....the economy seems to be running into a brick wall but companies raised prices enough to keep profits ok....I suppose that's the reason for the little rally here.
If short term treasuries can find footing and stop falling in price/rising in yield then stocks have a chance. I think people are watching that 1-3 year treasury price very carefully and will jump back in if the yield on it stops rising.
Meanwhile me and every other asset allocator is shoving all the money he can into short term bonds. 4-5% yield on a short term bond? More yield than from the 10 year? Buy buy buy.

Is their a short term bond fund that you like in particular? Is that the investment vehicle of choice?

yeah I'm hearing about absolute torrents of money going into short term bond funds. they are lower risk and pay more interest than longer term bonds...what's not to like?
If true, torrents of money into short term bonds will hold up their prices/hold down their yields, which should help stocks. eventually.
I suppose the downside is that if the fed decides to keep hiking beyond consensus that would hurt short term. Prices of short term bonds are not as market derived as longer term bonds.
BSV is the basic index fund
SHY owns only short term treasuries
VCSH owns only short term corporates. That's the one I have most of.
STPZ is short term tips
if you want to take a flier, SJNK is short term junk bonds. basically stocks with a giant 8%ish yield. It's been remarkably resilient through all this....that yield would be at risk if we have a real recession but it's so tempting. I don't quite understand why that fund has done so well in the face of a recession. Probably massive yields just make things look better on discounted cash flows models.

Thanks.
Their performance charts are not giving me that warm fuzzy feeling.
Add to that I don't have a grasp on bonds in general, and that seals the deal for me.
Just bought a little more Apple. Reasoning: My short term trading strategy has been abysmal. I am impressed as to how well this big tech bellwether has been holding up, and the hope is that maybe stashing some additional assets there may prove a smart move in the long run, long term. And there is plenty of reason to believe it could withstand a recession, should one materialize, better than smaller tech companies.

obviously you buy bonds mostly for their yields...short term bonds yielding 4-5% just doesnt' sound like an opportunity that will last very long. But who knows.
On Apple...also who knows. I own index funds so I already have plenty of Apple shares. I've been trying to buy smaller names and value funds.

I wonder if the possible price drop in the bond funds share price would negate the attractive yield.
I am heavy in exposure to apple already and that does give me some pause, so that is a very real concern and probably reason enough to not go anymore overboard in that direction than I already am.
No lack of volatility these days, and we were warned....
Worst week for me in some time (since I began betting vs. the market).
Hammered on Monday and pretty much hammered today.
Down 10k for the month. Lost 12k on Monday and another 7k today
Still up $18k on bets against the market (was close to $40k at the end of last week).
Will hang in there with these bets as this market seemingly has a lot further to fall and soon.
Inflation out of control, Ukraine war will get worse and worse, Europe to begin freezing and starving soon, Covid fear mongering ramping up as more and more lies of Big Pharma are exposed and the horrors of the jab continue to come to light, powers that be cancelling anyone who does not bow, Justice, political, and intelligence agencies all totally corrupt and weaponized by the bosses.
