I've been thinking seriously about moving money from a bond ETF that I've held over a decade to a long term CD. The bond yield and CD rates are similar at this point, but it would be great to lock it in with a CD.

Fidelity is great. I consolidated my retirement accounts into one Fidelity account. Well, two accounts. One traditional and one Roth. They make it very easy to shop and compare investment opportunities. I had a TD Ameritrade retirement account that I closed and moved to Fidelity. TD was horrible when it came to finding investments that met my needs, so I moved. Since then they've been bought by Schwab and from what I've read they are bankrupt, or close to it. |

Wasn't sure exactly where to put this, but I thought it was an interesting tidbit. Came in an email I got.
But....Yikes Quote:

This past quarter is kind of depressing. I thought we were going to make up the 2022 losses and then get back on a reasonable track, but I guess I'll learn to like the taste of cat food in retirement.

This is one of those markets that people who have never witnessed a Bear market keep thinking the market will turn around and keep investing as stocks just keep dropping.
I haven't made any new investments for several months. I see some nice entry points as some things are really getting cheap.

A few weeks back some kidney study came out that showed good efficacy and it took down the whole medical devices ETF 5+% in a day. They'd already been slowly dying all year. I imagine there is plenty of stuff in that area that won't be impacted at all, the stuff that is impacted who knows how much. Same with a lot of the consumer staples. They've been out of favor this year, safety and dividend yielders did well last year and this year has been growth/tech. Walmart had some internal study that showed smaller basket size with a different mix for people on the weight loss drugs. Walmart, costco, pepsi, and most non-health foods dropped a bunch that day. Some of the staples have gotten cheaper than they've been in a while relatively and I've noticed they're holding up better than the market. MKC and MDLZ are examples. Hershey was too as it's been killed this year w/ high cocoa and sugar prices but it had earnings today and dumped. |

Thanks Lewdog (Debbie Downer of Dividends). While the price has definitely takin a hit on TSLA dragging TSLY with it I'm benefiting immensely on growing the share count through dividend reinvestment. My share count has grown 21% in 4 months, In the grand scheme of things I see this as a blessing as long as share price eventually recovers. In 5 years this little investment should provide enough dividend payments to live on alone. Some of the other Yieldmax funds are looking better now, NVDY,CONY, because the underlying stock has held up but TSLY is still the Gold standard in Dividend yield. Also ,Defiance has come out with some real bangers , QQQY (1.10 divi in October) and JEPY (.90 divi in October) .Yes, I'm loading those too. |

Owning dividend stocks is a different mindset anyway. People do it for the paycheck. |

I'd like to vote for PYPL to institute a dividend at next week's earnings. Thanks!

I just did my weekly summary and I'm in a really foul mood right now. My invested assets are down 9 percent since July 31st and my total net worth is down 7 percent.

Is there more to PayPal Holdings than just the PayPal transaction service?
Because of all the fintech platforms it seems like the biggest piece of shit in my experience I get more PayPal attempted scam emails than anything else, which I guess is probably a sign that you've made it (PayPal, not me), but I rarely use it compared to Zelle, Shop, or Venmo. Matter of fact, I should probably just shut it down Wondering if I'm off on it as a product? |
