Super El Nino event this year?
I know it's speculation at this point, but I keep on hearing it's more likely now than previously that there will be a super el nino event. I was wondering if anyone had thought about potential investment opportunities and, in particular, in the commodity space. I was thinking the below …
When dividend yield exceeds portfolio credit line interest
If you were going to accept the volatility of covered call ETFs like JEPI and JEPQ with yields around 9-10% because you were willing to hold long term through dips (7-10 years), and could also borrow against that same portfolio at less than 5%, can I leverage the approximate 4% …

I have a MGI account. When I look at returns it says it’s a cumulative time weighted return. Looking at it deeper they are basically looking at account growth which includes deposits I make. They are then comparing it to S&P 500 saying I am beating it. MGI is a …

“The American economy was experiencing a once-in-a-century acceleration of innovation, which propelled forward productivity, output, corporate profits, and stock prices at a pace not seen in generations, if ever.”
Alan Greenspan - January 2000. “When we look back at the 1990s, from the perspective of say 2010, the nature of the forces currently in train will have presumably become clearer. We may conceivably conclude from that vantage point that, at the turn of the millennium, the American economy was …
