There are certain things one just should not be buying at certain times

In April 2020 the 30Y was paying just 1.27% on average (tonight it pays 5.56%).

Core CPI inflation was 1.43% yoy in April 2020.

Silver was $15. It's now up 307%.

Gold was $1,700. It's up 144%.

WTI averaged $16.55. It's up 480%.

SPX averaged 2,762. It's up 179%.

The median sales price of a new home is up 30%. 

Imagine needing to sell a 6-year old 30Y you bought in a flight to safety during the pandemic panic and booking a loss of 57%. 

 



Um, why are small towns still struggling two years into Trump II?
