So are ETFs that focus on international markets a decent way to hedge against sell offs due over concerns about the Fed raising interest? While most of the stocks I follow were dropping like a rock in the AM today I noticed VXUS and VYMI were pretty stable. I need to go back and see if they saw any change during the sell off during the bond interest increase last week, too. My thinking is that we are probably going to see more panic sales over the interest rate over the next year or two, which in turn will provide a pretty good opportunity to buy up some stocks on the cheap if you have cash on hand. I am considering starting to put some money into one of these ETFs or another similar one so itll grow at a decent rate while providing a piggy bank to buy up stocks at Fed sponsored fire sales. Is this a completely bad idea? Im new to this so feedback is really appreciated. DapperDraculaDeer fucked around with this message at 02:19 on Feb 24, 2021 |

Broad ex-US indexes are heavily weighted away from tech/growth and toward “value” stocks compared to the US market. That’s why they’ve done comparatively better during the recent interest rate worries: they’re starting from a much lower p/e multiple so there’s less to compress. Have a look at a US value tilt, such as VTV or RSP, and you’ll see they’ve done just fine too. I’ve owned VTV and RSP over large chunks of the past year and still have family in them (and VFH). Anyway yeah, international is a good place to have some money. I own some VEA and am eyeballing EMXC. Any diversified portfolio has some intl.

I thought most people in the thread were down on cruise stocks. Ive got to say though, I think they may be wrong. I have a few family members that are "cruise people" and see them and their fellow cruisegoers posting on social media constantly about how they cant wait to get back on the boats. There is a very dedicated, hardcore group of people that are constantly going on cruises who are eagerly awaiting the chance to get back on those boats. When the cruises start back up most of them will be immediately booking multiple cruises. They are also popular cheap vacations since they are often times all inclusive or close to it, so for a lot of people they provide a pretty decent 5+ day vacation for about the cost of one stimulus check. Most of my post-COVID travel bounce money is going into RYCEY but cruises seem look a decent option too.

Americans are done with caring about covid but they certainly aren't done with dying from it e: 40% of the country thinks it never existed and another 40% were given permission in the last month or so to assume that it's being taken care of now Shear Modulus fucked around with this message at 03:50 on Feb 24, 2021 |

"And not every time I did that, but I would say every third or fourth time, I would run into the Ark of the Covenant being taken into the Israelites, taking the Ark of the Covenant into battle before them, because they believed that the presence of God was in the Ark of the Covenant. As I began to get this idea of a firm going and realized that I was fighting this war, I knew I had to name my company “ARK” for Ark of the Covenant. [...] I funded it for the first three years all by myself. And for the first three years, our assets didn’t grow that much. And I thought, Oh my goodness, what have I done? Every two weeks there was an exit of a significant amount of my wealth into the company. And I would kneel down and say, “Okay, God, You’re in control. Even if this company fails, I know I’ve done the right thing. This is a walk of faith for me. Your will be done.” - Cathie Wood "Verily I say unto you, as you have done for the richest of my children, you have done for me." - God, apparently.

Has anyone looked at the data for stock performance of producers of hydroxychloroquine since last spring? When the Trump admin pushed it, it created a lot of anxiety for people who actually needed it - people who suffered from Lupus, research studies related to Lupus, etc., but I haven't heard anything lately. I assume they might've gotten a brief boost, but the effect was otherwise negligible.

So I just watched the China Hustle and found out that Chinese companies with garbage fundamentals get fraudulently listed on the NYSE via reverse mergers with American companies. If true it implies that there's over 1.1 trillion dollars worth of garbage Chinese stocks being traded in the US stock market and nobody cares. Best part is the Chinese CEOs and other people perpetuating this fraud won't face consequences because the SEC/FBI can't touch them abroad and the Chinese government has no laws or mechanisms for prosecuting fraud of offshore investors. Just how much truth is there to this? If any of this is true it would mean that anyone with a share in emerging markets will be exposed at some point.

Everything Chinese is a huge bubble waiting to pop, Even the minister of finance has no idea what China's real GDP growth is, he started trying to use energy expenditure to measure it semi accurately. On every single level of the CCP there's incentive to cook the books, it's not just endemic it's encouraged.
