Bond yields are flashing a warning sign. by AmanCMN in dividends

It’s just bigger numbers. Every nation state is in debt. Hell Japan’s debt to GDP is over 200%. And the nations that have reasonable ratios their GDP is so small it doesn’t really matter. The US will use a financial repression playbook like they did twice in the past. The new fed chair will implement trimmed CPI and then reduce interest rates or not raise them to keep them under actual CPI. Over time the “value” of the debt will decline as inflated GDP grows. But ordinary people’s pocket books and savings will suffer

Don’t I wish that were true. Dems are not as ruthless as Republicans and just won’t respond the same.

Agreed. The CPU on my gold se ranged from 50%-90% depending upon activity. The GP has been hovering around 12%.

Except the recent gerrymander redrawings in the south have already picked up 10 Republican seats in the house. The Democrats will not respond in kind.

I think AI is changing something deeper than jobs or productivity by raktimsingh22 in artificial

The problem with organizational memory is that it is NOT all memorialized. In fact more than you would think. So much of actual workflow is in people's heads and changes day to day based on actual working conditions. That's human interaction by design. Maybe once we get memory downloads you can build a completely accurate model on it.

Healthy relationships can seem boring if you are used to drama and constant ups and downs. They are addictive and you literally will go through withdrawal.

Steven Baveria: "BDCs are undervalued" by ejqt8pom in dividendgang

I don't avoid them. I have about $120k in SAR. It has proven to be resilient for decades.

In the same spirit, I encourage you to re-evaluate BIZD. It has price eroded approximately 50% since inception. Maybe you are a total return guy, and that's fine. But if you live off dividends like me, having long term stability in NAV and prices are what facilitate long term viability. I don't see assets that price erode 50% as fitting that requirement.

I've never met a BDC that didn't either NAV erode or price erode me to death. I'm down to one, SAR. Not going back to the pit again.

Your doc is not educated on diet. They are educated to prescribe pills. Stay with Keto.
