Ya Yogi; Momemtum, and the effect of index funds is the main the reason I have just about stoped picking stocks. It don't make sence to look for good stocks with so much money going into index funds who are just going to buy what ever and by it's market cap..market cap is like everything, or almost everything if your stock is in an index.. ---- I'm not fighting the tape, but I have just about missed the upside on this last rally, but I don't really care as long as I've got the cash, a hedge and can sleep at night. Had I not closed my hedge in my regular account at just the wrong time I would be a little better off, ( I still have it in my IRA and will keep it so to not have to pay the 1.5% charge for selling ahead of 90 days. ) It makes a little , and most likely will either way the market goes. -- And I'm still buying I-bonds .. ( one more buy to make this year and will do it this month ) I know the base rate will drop next month, and the base rate is fixed for the life of the bond. I think the CPI-U ( adjustable part) will tick up, but that's for all the I-bonds. --- Jim
