Money & Economics

90% of my pile is in and will likely stay in fixed income 4% - 5%

I just don’t have the stomach or the time left to go through a 2000 or 2008 event and take 5-12 years to recover

If someone is younger or has bigger cajones, it would be different

I have almost enough guaranty income to weather a 2000 or 2008 event so anything from the market is icing on the cake

Marcus online is offering 4.3% for 9 month CDs … just sayin and 4.0% for no penalty CDs (same as MM)

I'm a fan of those Marcus no penalty CDs too... I wonder why they even offer them? As you say, it amounts to a MM investment... but with a guaranteed term for the rate.
