Either of you clocked this move on UAL? It was $36 on Aug 5th. Its $80 today. Weekly chart upper bollinger blown out and an RSI of ~82. Only 5% short float and 78% inst owned. Squeeze doesn't seem likely.

What's the deal? Did United create AI piloted flights?

I don't follow transports so had no idea it got frisky.

Yeah this is why I'm buying bonds with all the money that was sitting in in my HYSAs.

I just really hate the thought of locking up too much for a decade or whatever. Still randomly making some big purchases for the farm etc

Bonds are sellable on the secondary market. SF techbros want to go back to ZIRP, so bad that they're willing to engineer a recession to make it happen. They want to be able to borrow unlimited money at near zero interest to build their version of the future because they think the gains from AI are infinite and the time to lock in is now.

Once rates crash, sell them and buy whatever asset class looks like it's going to go to the moon, whether that's crypto or some tech ETF, anything.

How does this plan account for devaluing the dollar? You buy $100k in bonds today. Rates go to zero a couple of years from now and you sell your bonds for $150k in a couple of years from now dollars. Unfortunately a couple of years from now dollars are only worth 1/2 what they are today so you actually lost $25k in todays dollars.

The azure guidance is a gut punch. Sorry bros msft is destined to stick at 418. The price I bought it for in January. It will give me neither gains nor harvested losses. I am never selling so you all better just give up.

The market initially goes down when inflation picks up. There should be a period where the bonds can be sold at a significant premium and still get in on the market before it starts going up from money printing. My look at past trends indicates around a 10-15 month window to rotate.
