Sweep's Commodity Bust

[Scanner]

BA,

OH, I didn't think that were trying to convince me. . .Sweeps talked me into a stop order on my ETF. . .but I then later cancelled it because I wouldn't know what to do after I was sitting on the cash.

I know we are all different.

Again. . .just like the lake drying up analogy, which is good, I don't know where else to invest. . .maybe I am poo-pooing bonds too much. I do beleive the bond market has been artificially kept low and the stock market high the last 20 years. . .it may be time for a correction there but I don't know how much lower interest rates can go as you point out.

No... I pretty much agree with you on the bond issue....

Truth is, I don't know what to think of it yet, but I'm certainly not too giddy about it either (for active investing purposes, which is what I am assuming we are talking about here).

What's happening in the bond world right now is... history in the making. But not in a good way, with insurers risk losing their AAA rating from all this toxicity that's floating out there.

I don't remember what your portfolio was... but if you don't like anything else out there, how about just rebalancing? Sell some SLV and buy more of another existing position? You'll still capture some of the gains and have it re-invested into something that you still like.
