Yep!

Another day another record close….

Shorts are getting the arses kicked…

Up maybe 2% for the whole year since Jan? And we have another Fed meeting in two weeks, with a taper to $35 billion expected. Tick … tock … tick … tock.

Bonus points if Ukraine blows up into full civil war mode with Russia and a few EU states jumping in.

If ERUS goes back down, I’ll be happy to pick some up again in the mid 17ies and sell them around 19….

^^^ Good point. Better yet, look at who supplies SpaceX. SpaceX is within a hair’s distance of testing private manned space launches. If Russia gets serious about closing Baikonur to NASA, expect an influx of gov’t funding and the acceleration of that timetable.

PS – I bet JFK is rolling over right now. He’d never have imagined that we’d be dependent on the Russians for manned space travel. Sad.

recently read a book called DR FEELGOOD which makes the case that JFK had a pretty serious meth problem. of course it was legal back then…

I just checked and it is a sad 1.7% for the year. I’m glad I parked the other 401k in mutual funds….I can’t trust a market expected to grow forever

I’m bummed for you, but glad I’m not the only one with a 1.7% return. 🙁

Just checked:

401K – 3.23% (almost all stock, passively managed) YTD

Actively managed stock portfolio – 8.96% YTD (approximate calculation by morningstar )
