jnk

JNK is down 2% today ($.80) trading right at its 100 DMA. Let’s see if it holds. Note that an $.80 move is 2x its ATR. We’re also seeing the decline on high volume like we are seeing in many of the major indexes.

Bull flag on the $VIX. We breached the 200 DMA briefly at the peak of the flag and it looks like voltatility is making another run.

GLD with a solid breach of the 100 DMA. GLD appears to be on its way to horizontal support and its 200 DMA at $100.

cd

I’ve been noticing over the past few weeks that yields have come down ever lower on CDs. I didn’t even think it could go much lower. We’re at the point now that Schwab doesn’t even broker CDs for 30 or 90 days. A 1-year CD only offers a yield of .4%. Just a short time ago, you could get a 1% yield on a 1 year CD. Anybody have a good hypothesis for why banks have stopped issuing CDs?

    Love the updates!

    Are CD's FDIC insured? If so, perhaps they have to keep them on the books, and they don't with 'bailout' money?

    Anyways, I'm still about 1 twitch away from cashing out the 401k and buying physical Gold & Silver.
  • Yes, CDs are FDIC insured.

    Sorry, today is a very off day, I also didn't get the update message for this until now.

    Disqus sure is slow =/
