so buy the fucking dip. have you really learned nothing?
## Speaker_1: ##
I really wish we had WSB back in 1929 (or 1987 or 2008) so I could see all the people screaming buy the dips.
No I don’t think a huge crash is coming but sometimes buying the dip after a one day, or one week, drop isn’t the smart choice.
## Speaker_3: ##
Don't rich people start buying the dip with a little capital, and double down if the dip continues ? I mean, I just buy the dip and pray, but rich people ?
## Walls1337bot: ##
They don't buy the dip after 1 week. They buy after a 6 month dip and the double down you are talking about is a year or 18 months later which is how long actual crashes take.
People on here saying 1 week "crashes" of .5% from ATHs are "buying the dip" deserve to get burned.

This is all from $297 Put 9/25
## Speaker_1: ##
How much did you put on the line?
## Speaker_0: ##
Everything, so it’s not nearly as impressive as my ROKU gains, but it’s the same $ I gained, so I can’t complain!
## Speaker_1: ##
Honestly dude, let $90k settle and cash it out. Leave 10 in for play money and pay off all(if any) debts you have and put it in an investment account. You’ll want to kill yourself if you don’t pull out and end up losing it all. Realize that these gains are real life changing money.
## Speaker_0: ##
I didn’t know there were so many caring people on WSB. On a serious note, I totally agree! The only lame thing is you can’t day trade on Robinhood without having 25k, and having day trades is a pretty big thing.
## Speaker_1: ##
If you can make 20,000% return rate from $700, you can make the 250% return from $10k to get to day-trading levels again. It’s easy to lose touch with reality when the money is a gain and on an app but when you finally see it in your bank account, you’ll realize it’s legit and life changing for most people. I think you’ll do the right thing, I just wish someone told me this when I was up so much last year!
## Speaker_0: ##
I appreciate it! Would people be interested in seeing that I actually withdrew 100k? Haha
## Walls1337bot: ##

They're killing the Uighurs' rich and vibrant culture where Uighur Islamic race warriors go around stabbing non-Uighurs to death to bring about a Shariah state, like what they did to the native Oirats in Xinjiang during the Qing dynasty.

It's great as long as there's a surplus, and people aren't greedy, slothful, selfish, manipulative, or liars, and you completely trust the government and your fellow man.
## Speaker_2: ##
so basically if everyone is a robot. I think robots would love communism.
## Speaker_3: ##
Exactly. Robots would be intelligently designed and they would obviously prefer a designed and planned economy (although socialism doesn't necessarily include planned economy). As they would be absolutely rational, that would be perfectly fine.
Too bad it doesn't work with people. On the other hand, capitalism grows negative side-effects with greedy people, too. But at least it generates wealth simultaneously.
## Speaker_4: ##
Do you realize that up until the reforms in the 70s the USSR had a higher GDP growth that the US? In reference to the wealth generating bullshit.

No one is funding their ridiculous bonus even they lose your money. Cry me a river.
## Speaker_1: ##
And here we see the typical /r/all poster with no previous posts here. Clap clap
Hedge funds 'smartly' allocate funds, if the S&P as a whole is going down, clueless investors (who 'invest' on SP ETFs) will pull their money ($2.2 Trillion) out of the equity market, while with hedge funds or mutual funds they would just change the allocation for portfolios to not take as big a hit, hence no money being pulled at once.
It's proven that Mutual and Hedge funds outperform the S&P by large margins during recessions. But you obviously wouldn't know that. Cry me a river.
## Speaker_2: ##
You're all serious, and I'm just imagining a huge market meltdown as people pull out of ETFs to buy gold, and the only companies that don't get nailed are retarded-ass misfits that ETFs would never touch.
I wanna see this, that would be so fucking hilarious, everyone would watch all the good companies just fall apart but not the shit companies, and all the rational people would fucking snap
## Speaker_1: ##
That would actually be a legit cause for a massively-sized crash. Holy shit, we may have found the next recession's catalyst, market drops 5-10%, every moron and their dogs pull their money, falls an extra 30% or so.

The more I think about it, the more sense it makes. Stocks fall, eventually, banks and insurers will start cashing out too, less loans, businesses grow less, unemployment rises, and we know the rest.
We're definitely onto something.
## Walls1337bot: ##
What are you guys onto? You are saying: "If market falls, people liquidate, market falls more"
How is does this relate to ETFs?
## Speaker_4: ##
The upper level sheeple have the mantra that nobody can outperform the index so they invest all of their money in huge ETFs tracking indices. That means they buy a lot of the popular companies at once. Everything's fun and games while we are in the largest bull market in history thanks to new money created out of thin air by the Fed to save politician ass. The problem comes when they see a -5% or -10% in their broker accounts. We expect they will panic sell, as at the end of they day they are sheeple regardless of their status in the herd. That will cause a massive selloff in the companies in the index.
## Walls1337bot: ##
But the same argument can be made with stocks...
Sheeple have a lot of stocks, market fall 10%, sheeple sell.
If we talk about leveraged ETFs, yeah that seems realistic. But with 1x ETFs I dont see it

Wait, so amazon Facebook Netflix don’t pay any taxes at all in other countries besides the US?
## Speaker_1: ##
No, they have to pay taxes everywhere, but you do a bunch of accounting tricks to have your profit in high tax countries be moved to low tax countries.
## Speaker_2: ##
The end result being they pay hardly any tax.
Netflix made £500 million revenue in the UK last year - however only about £25 million went down as taxable revenue as the UK operation is registered as a service arm of the Netflix EU HQ in the Netherlands. Minus operational cost, a tiny pre-tax profit of about £1 million was recorded.
UK corporation tax was 20% that year - resulting in a total tax of £200,000. However Netflix receieved over £200,000 in movie / TV industry rebates.
As such Netflix effectively paid 0% tax on a UK revenue of £500,000,000 last year.
This is why people are unhappy - we have massively wealthy companies not paying any tax.
## Walls1337bot: ##
How much of their one million pound profit would you like to take as tax? Serious question, what do you think is fair?
## Speaker_3: ##
Seriously, companies have all the legal rights and responsibilities of people. Ergo they should be taxed at the same overall level as individuals.
But that just allows tax dodging by making up expenses to service sham loans from their parent company in the cayman islands
## Walls1337bot: ##
Oh really? Well then let’s get rid of double taxation on corporations then. I’m all for it! While we’re at it we can give them standard deductions and all the other deductions that individuals get. This should make our economy much better!
Cayman Islands and sham loans? That’s called FRAUD and is already against the law. That’s not how any of this works in reality. Just because you read it at the Commie News Network doesn’t make it true.

What would they gain from just flat out nuking us? Nothing. They just want to survive.
This rhetoric is going to kill hundreds of thousands and displace millions. This all came from an ignorant and reckless American White House.
Trump cares about winning, not the country. As it's been shown in how he deals with the press. This is just another distraction from his poor leadership so he can be marked as a great president.

Count to ten at 9:35 AM tomorrow. In those ten seconds, Jeff Bezos, the owner and founder of Amazon, just lost more money than the median employee of Amazon makes in an entire year. An entire year.
## Speaker_1: ##
without bezos, those amazon employees might not even have a job. so there's that
## Speaker_2: ##
They will just work in some other type of retail or warehouse job for a different company that does something similar to amazon's many different enterprises, but with maybe less efficiency as Amazon. You make it sound like, because of Amazon there is a net increase in jobs, when the opposite could be true too. There was a world before Amazon and unemployment wasn't much different during that time.

So now that this has 12 upvotes at 100% and a lot of good discussion, someone want to tell me how MORL is 3x levered?
## Speaker_0: ##
Well lets start from the beginning.
1. Mreit buys mortgage from a bank for a 1% profit. This is not enough spread to make real money so the Mreit borrows money from the fed at like .00000001% interest and buys 500 more mortgages at 1% spread.
2. Lets assume they are now making 500% via leverage. They give out this profit to stockholders via dividends. This usually comes out to a 10% dividend per shareholder.
3. The geniuses at UBS then buy shares in like 30 different Mreit companies and create a portfolio. But 10% is not enough YOLO so UBS borrows money and buys 3 times more shares than they can actually afford. Voila 30% dividend.
4. UBS packages this leveraged portfolio into an ETF and sells it to gullible scrubs.

## Speaker_0: ##
People tend to forget that the Nasdaq dropped nearly 75% after the 2000 tech bubble crashed and then only 40% during the worst global financial crisis since the Great Depression.
Right now the Nasdaq isn't even 10% off its highs and the financial news is treating it like the next recession. The difference between 2000 and now is that many of the companies with high values are actually justifying those values with incredible earnings. The smart money has been hanging out on the sidelines for months now and is waiting for all the weak hands to shake out before buying as much of it as they can once the capitulation has finally played out.
The economy is stronger than it's ever been and there are still millions of people who have stayed out of the market because of fears from 2008. The selling will continue for a little while but once the earnings from this holiday season are realized, the market is going to rocket to new highs again (as long as the Fed doesn't fuck up and cause another recession with stupid policy).
## Speaker_2: ##
You are correct. To add to this, because people don't seem to understand:
Apple, Alphabet, Amazon, Microsoft, and Facebook all damn near literally print money. And their biggest capital expenditures are buying other companies and R&D. They aren't like Exxon Mobil or Union Pacific or GE or GM, who have previously been the biggest chunk of our economy. Those companies require huge amounts of money to sustain productivity. Not these new top-cheesers. They spend what they want to. Apple is developing self-driving car something another in a desert somewhere right now. Just because they can.
Warren Buffett, the father fucking Michael God Damn Jordan of value investing, just made 25% of Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio Apple. Apple is the largest market cap company in the world. Let that sink in. He's never done anything quite like this. The greatest and stingiest investor ever decided that the most highly valued publicly traded company on the planet was undervalued. Why? Because if you subtract the quarter trillion that they have in CASH from their current market cap, they're trading at less than 15x earnings. Their 10 year average ROE is above 15%. That's a true PEG ratio below 1 over the last 10 years. Along with a dividend that Apple could easily double without a sweat. This is all nuts for a company that large. Nuts. They grow capital faster than some start-up weed dispensaries will this year..
I can't write up a report for all the companies at the top of the food chain right now, but you should get the gist.

When will the comedown even begin?
## Speaker_1: ##
If a company posts an earnings loss and weak guidance, yet the stock goes up, it's bear time.
## Speaker_2: ##
The problem is that monetary policy since 2010 has been so loose that there's too much money being thrown into a low-interest rate environment. Short-term highly rated debt pays next to nothing. This forces money into higher paying investments such as stocks. This was the goal of the policy as it spurs business investment which is good for the economy. However, since interest rates still remain low. There's no reason not to throw excess capital into the markets. Look at stock buybacks again hovering around record levels. Sure, equities are expensive and it seems irrational that a stock would pop after an earnings miss, but macro indicators and the fact that investment inflows>outflows creates a higher demand and pushes prices higher. There's literally no where else to put your money that gives a worthy return. Fixed income is more or less a joke, especially considering the tax cuts further reducing the benefits of municipal debt.
## Speaker_3: ##
So, what is the result of this type of policy?
## Speaker_2: ##
¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯
All I'm saying is that when you create a few trillion dollars people need to put it somewhere. For several reasons, that somewhere turned out to be the stock market.

Cherry picking? Nice. I’m pretty sure Albert Einstein said some stupid shit in his life, that doesn’t mean he’s an idiot.
I’d genuinely like you to explain why, other than cherry picking certain sentences, you think Trump is an idiot and/or a bad president.
He literally just fucking denuclearized North Korea two days ago - something no other president was able to do. He’s also passed a massive tax cut to American households, and he’s ramping up border security to keep Americans safe - from banning Muslims to increasing southern border security. What did Obama do in his first two years as president? Oh that’s right - nothing, other than a disastrous healthcare bill which caused premiums to to skyrocket for millions of Americans.

so, what you're going to pay in the interim are margin maintenance fees, and you're going to eat a little shit if the market doesn't go your way?
## Speaker_1: ##
See my edit. I have 2.75% in margin carry costs. So that's a little bit off the top. You can look at some of the comments in my recent posts about ways that I typically mitigate these carry costs. Specifically, the use of a second covered call layer that I will sell from time to time on low volume weeks, which are deep OTM and generate a little bit of added premium here and there.
## Speaker_0: ##
is your margin maintenance fixed rate?
## Speaker_1: ##
No, it floats. It was actually below 2% up until recently, when it jumped up 75 basis points or so. But you can pretty much predict where the rate will go based on the Fed's dot plot, since the margin rate is generally tied to the fed funds rate, at least to some extent.
## Speaker_0: ##
right, that was my concern - are you worried about rising interest killing your profits? you're estimating a max of 20% for two and change years of holding a position
## Speaker_1: ##
No - I actually recover my carry costs by occasionally selling deep OTM weekly covered calls for a small premium. I do this on low volume weeks, when there is no earnings or other event driven news coming up. It's basically just an occasional double-layering of covered calls. It requires little or no added margin, and it's incredibly low risk. But it generates enough added premium to cover my carry costs.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Double layering covered calls? Wouldn’t the second layer just be naked calls?

We have so much welfare already you would make more sitting on your ass at home all day then [working 40 hours](https://www.cheatsheet.com/culture/states-welfare-recipients-paid-more-minimum-wage.html/) a week as a secretary in 39 states. Yet crime still exists. The claim that crime is the result of poverty is bullshit. It is a contributing factor, but not a dominant factor. The people robbing houses aren't working at Amazon, and would not benefit from min wage increases anyway.
## Speaker_4: ##
Hang on, that article you posted is referring to the benefits given to a single mother looking after two children. Isn't that reasonable? Kids are unbelievably expensive.
## Speaker_5: ##
...and therefore should not be subsidised. If someone went out and bought a car, knowing that their monthly outgoings would increase massively, they wouldn't get additional welfare to cover the car payments. Why, then, should someone who chooses to manufacture a human being get additional funding for that equally poor financial decision?
## Walls1337bot: ##
Because it's fucked to let kids suffer for their parents choices and there's not really a more realistic way to help the kids than provide assistance to their caretaker

I think this sub tries to recreate the hyper-masculinity, hyper-aggression that Hollywood portrays of Wallstreet. However it's just devolved into a parody of itself. There's also a lot of frustration and anger from trades gone wrong that the members here take out on eachother. I think most here are relatively normal people but are just [code-switching](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code-switching) as a way of feeling apart of a group. I have friends from all walks of life and quickly learned that I didn't want or need to code-switch to be able to communicate effectively.
I knew a girl in elementary school that was nothing but nice to me. Because she was heavy set and because my friends made fun of her, so did I. She didn't deserve it. I didn't know any better. It's a memory I wish I could erase but it taught me that I don't want to be the type of person that hurts people, especially if there's no good reason for it.
I get called a faggot a lot here. Fortunately I have thick skin and it doesn't bother me. Occasionally I run into people like you that appreciate my lack of hostility and it confirms why I am the way I am. So thank you.

That’s a shame and seems done out of spite. His content was mostly hours long lectures on finance, chemistry, accounting, and other serious subjects and there hasn’t been any new uploads as far as I know since Shkreli was incarcerated.
His YT channel really changed my understanding of him.
## Speaker_1: ##
Same. The media narrative quickly fell apart.
## Speaker_2: ##
I mean, he's still a soulless shit. He's just also smart as fuck and pretty charismatic. Your problem is that you're not cynical enough to admit that you like a horrible person.
## Speaker_3: ##
He's a straight up sociopath conning the weak minded. He more or less admitted so on stream when a fan got him to take a "are you a sociopath" test. He was answering yes, yes, yes to all of the questions before he laughed and decided to end the test there.
I also remember him calling his followers stupid - but then he turned that into a joke to cover his faux pas. Moving this here:
I did mock him for like 30 minutes straight about how he was going to go to prison pre trial. Shkreli stone cold ignored me until I started to turn some of his chat against him.
Shkreli addressed me only once with a smirk: "scienter." I did some googling and more or less worked out that his legal defense was going to be to claim ignorance that what he was doing was fraud since the government has to prove intent to get a conviction. And that would leave the lawyer who was advising him responsible for the crime. All of a sudden I realized that he and his lawyer Greebel planned all of this out and that he actually had a decent chance at winning his case because he just has to turn 1 juror to avoid conviction.
To his credit he did turn a juror but not on all of the charges. His supreme confidence came not from being innocent but in confidence of his ability to manipulate people to do what he wanted.

I believe Amazon has a very bright future. I think that this [chart](http://imgur.com/a/fFDvw) is very telling.
And keep in mind, that chart is just showing prime subscribers; it does not count those who shop on amazon without a subscription. Amazon has such a powerful hold over the american online retail market that I believe competitors like Walmart don't stand a chance. Also, I see the future of retail trending towards online, so Amazon will be placed incredibly well for that trend.

Question: if you were to count it, would it be greater than social security costs? I’m always told the number “70% of spending is on mandatory financial assistance programs”
## Walls1337bot: ##
There's a tiny difference though, production.
Healthcare produces economically beneficial results with nearly every interaction. I don't like the US model, but it applies to each model. Just because it's paid through taxes instead of individually doesn't make it any different. So while they might make up a larger percentage of overall spending, it's paid back through various positive outcomes such as your broken leg is healed faster, allowing you to get back to work sooner or your cold is remedied before you get everyone and their brother sick.
There's also the fact that those social programs are "baked in". Discretionary funding, what Congress has the ability to -choose- where taxes are allocated, offense funding takes the majority. Social Security and other programs act like taxes for Congress similar to how it is for us on payroll. They don't get the option to NOT spend money on them. That's why it's such a big deal in the news whenever something happens to those programs.
Offense, however, only produces beneficial returns in the event someone(s) intended to do harm -and- those weapons prevented it. How we're currently using our budget is for the government to buy overpriced staples from corrupt lobbyists' corporations. I don't think you would pay over $100 for a hammer you can pick up at Lowe's for $5.
The Pentagon failed their audit, an audit that has been completed for the first time ever I believe. From what I gather, the audit was not even as intense as it should have been. Still found literally trillions of dollars that don't match up with their budget records.

Serious advice time:
If WSB is going crazy over a stock, it's being pumped and dumped. If you see it go up 4% in a single day, wait at least a week (prob 2) or gamble with options, usually puts that expire in 3-4 weeks, down 15-30% from current price. You'll make money. Maybe 10%, maybe 100%. Who knows.
If you want to play the rise, generally WSB has a week or at least 2 days before it starts plummeting.
If you want to take a long position (over 3 mo is considered long by WSB), actually google the fucking thing.

Shareholders get fucked in asset sale. Sure they can pay off 75% of the debt but now have half the stores left to generate revenue. Now any future buyout will be shit because half the stores. At least they get to keep their pharmacy benefit shit. Clearly RAD management had this as backup plan, CEOs still get bonus but sh get screwed. I sold at $2.95. Good luck to all that baghold, I hope it recovers for ya'll
Edit: And to top it all off this new deal still needs FTC approval lol
## Speaker_2: ##
Exactly. Everyone gets screwed except the executives with this deal. Shareholders, employees, etc. Walgreens was going to pay $7 billion and take on that RAD $8 billion debt - so basically they valued RAD at $15 billion when you consider the debt. Now RAD loses half its assets but basically for a third of the price, rather than half.
The new deal seems to value RAD at only a little over 2 billion (5*2 = 10 billion, subtract the 8 billion debt for all the stores). That doesn't look good at all. The Rite Aid execs seem retarded to have agreed to that.

Tesla put my IRA into 6 figure territory for the first time ever today.
Time to take profit and wait for the dip again.
## Speaker_1: ##
how can i convince you that's enough to retire on and you cash out now
## Speaker_0: ##
I have 4 kids....so you can't.
## Speaker_2: ##
how does someone trade like that with ira? is that roth ira? different form 401k correcT?(im a rookie trader)
## Speaker_0: ##
Ira's allow individual trade and options.
If you take profit but keep it in the account you don't pay taxes on it.

He's not wrong. It's hard for a lot of people in desperate circumstances to improve because all their time is consumed with just making ends meet, and they're a lot more vulnerable to things like macroeconomic swings. Rich people will still be rich (usually) after the markets change, it's the poor who suffer and from the markets the most.
## Speaker_1: ##
but dont these "poor" people have 401ks? pensions? fucking costco use to/does hand out stock to their fucking greeters
## Speaker_2: ##
...No...
Costco is a good job for many people. A significant portion of the workforce these days strings together multiple part time gigs and are specifically not allowed to work enough hours to qualify for bennies.
## Speaker_1: ##
costco was just an example. Lots of companies offer shares as part of your compensation package.
> A significant portion of the workforce these days strings together multiple part time gigs and are specifically not allowed to work enough hours to qualify for bennies.
Ok but they are still paying into a pension
## Speaker_2: ##
This is just confusingly wrong.
## Speaker_1: ##
in what way
## Walls1337bot: ##
very very very few companies offer stock options to entry level positions.

Why is everything dying?
## Speaker_1: ##
It's not everything, just tech (save for AMD). Unlike some other stocks when AMD gets a price upgrade it tends to get some favorable price action for a day or so relative to the market.
Go look at non tech (CSX, BAC, AAL) and you'll see the opposite of tech movement.

Autonomous vehicles, they're investing a bunch into their self driving divisions and I'm going long on them in the hope that either they or Google (with a partnership) gets something to market. I have zero hopes in Tesla
Thought they seemed like a good deal after they dipped on their Q2 results and figured I only really need one winner for autonomous vehicles

Nah, I would expect the big name sites to buy up a shit ton of dark fiber and then full on compete against the telecom companies. The tech companies are fully committed to getting as many people online for as cheaply as possible because they need the users to view the ads. Telecom companies are going to be able to stop this.
Maybe Netflix will get killed, but google and Facebook and amazon probably are big enough to fight it. It may end up killing the teleco companies in the process though.
## Speaker_1: ##
Running competitive internet service is illegal in most jurisdictions. Netflix has the pockets to pay bloodmoney to the Comcasts, others won't. $hort small cap tech.
## Speaker_0: ##
Even if it is a wireless internet service?

dont let logic get in the way of what you can get restricted with the right $
although the net neutrality thing is a dud, internet didnt have "net neutrality" a few years ago and all these fear tactic pics of "you have to pay $40 to view reddit XD XD" are just that, retarded fear tactics

This just hit me, but whichever company is doing accounting for tsla, the balls of that.
## Speaker_1: ##
It's PwC, and I assume they don't already have a going concern issue because PwC wants to continue being their auditor.
## Speaker_2: ##
Why would they have a concern? They’re there to catch fraud and financial misstatements, not fix gross manufacturing incompetence.
## Speaker_3: ##

## Walls1337bot: ##
> Also a going concern is any reason to doubt the company may not be able to continue operations.
OK I know everyone here is talking out of their ass, but:
First you don't even know what "going concern" means, it's not being concerned about the future of the company, it's the opposite. If a company has sufficient resources to continue operating, then it is itself "a going concern". That's just an old accounting term.
Second, not "any reason to doubt the company may not be able to continue its operations" puts in question whether it is a going concern, otherwise probably most company would not be OK'd. The auditor usually looks at a 1-year projection, not much longer than that, and while there are many "red flags" the real reasons for the auditor to actually speak up would be loan defaults, lawsuits, actual inability to face obligations, etc. Bankrupting stuff.
For an example you're probably familiar with, look at Sears Holdings. Last time they made money was in 2011, the company is absolutely going to shit, they're selling assets to stay afloat and yet they're still considered a going concern by their auditor (Deloitte), because they'll still be there in 12 months. ( What's even more interesting in this case is that in March 2017 the management had a different opinion. See here: https://www.marketwatch.com/story/why-sears-but-not-its-auditor-gave-a-going-concern-warning-2017-03-22 )

FREE THE POLITICAL PRISONER KNOWN AS BOBBY SHMURDA
## Speaker_1: ##
Shkreli is unironically a political prisoner
## Speaker_2: ##
How so?
## Speaker_3: ##
Because he was denied bail over a joke tweet where he was asking for someone to get him a hair sample from Hillary Clinton which the judge said was a threat
## Speaker_2: ##
And for being a general prick.
## Speaker_3: ##
I'm not saying he's a great person, but for that to happen to him is unjust

I beg to differ. 7 years is fair, all things considered. Lied to investors, jacked up the price of aids meds. 7 years is good.
## Speaker_3: ##

"getting more prison time for doing something not illegal is justified"
Neck yourself
## Speaker_2: ##
Being evil tends to add time to prison sentences. Just because the law hasn't codified for every contingency doesn't mean a judge can't use their own judgment.
In civil law a judge has no leeway. In common law, which we use, a judge **makes** the law, like the supreme court.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Shkreli has explained many times on youtube what he was doing with that drug, go find a vid.
Also, judges don't make laws, you're retarded.

## Speaker_2: ##
Buy a treasury bond direct from the government. The 10-year bond has an interest rate of about 3%. You get interest twice a year and your original investment back in 10 years.
## Speaker_1: ##
What's the downside to this? Why aren't we all sticking our emergency funds into this instead of Ally's?
## Speaker_2: ##
You can withdraw from a savings account at any time. You only get your money back with a 10-year bond in 10 years. It's not liquid.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Yeah it would be nice to have a secondary market for US gov bonds, maybe foreign investors could also invest there
