If youre looking for something to short, Carvana's business model makes no sense and is in the Fortune 500 while still not making a profit
yes, it's a scam. there's been numerous articles about the founders. you're about a year late on shorting though. it's already down 95% in that time span. i guess you can short it to $0.
Yup, maxed my family's allotment for the year. Totally worth it at today's rate of inflation. Risk free investment with a great return right now. You're only locked into the bond for a year so once a year passes, you can cash out when you want. Basically think of it as a savings fund/CD type of investment that's locked up for a year before you can withdraw it.
I'm guessing you can buy up to $10k in iBonds per family member and they'll each need their own TreasuryDirect account to redeem the gift(?). Seems like a no brainer to me at the current rate of 9.62%. Unless I'm mistaken, it looks like this purchase can be repeated every calendar year as well.
Yup can be repeated every year and its 10k per family member. Children don't need their own accounts as you can associate them to a parent's account. Also when you file your taxes, you can buy up to $5000 in I Bonds from your taxes. That $5000 is separate from the $10000 yearly limit. As long as inflation remains high, its a no brainer investment.
Yeah, I started getting into them sometime around the end of last year. We talked about them a bit in this thread a few months ago. It's basically easy money since they've been yielding 7-9+% since the end of last year. About the only negative is you are limited as to how much you can dump in them. Other than that, it's a great way to park money you won't need for a long while.
SQQQ should be good, I think once the chip vote moves on and some earnings post it should work. This Rally for QQQ shouldn't last, but I really don't know any more.
Pretty much. The interest rate on the bond resets every 6 months but its tied to inflation so right now the rate is crazy high. Eventually when inflation gets under control, the interest rate on the bond will come back to earth but for now, its the safest investment you can make that also gives you a solid ROI.
This has been a problem for all Congress and I'm guessing we'll need pitchforks and a guillotine before they do something about it.
