Interest Rates and the Fed

Posted on June 20, 2008 at 10:13 am         By Ryan in Investing | Disclaimer

Well, the fed is meeting again shortly, and it appears that they are going to hold the fed funds rate at its current levels.  While I’m personally happy they are doing this (I have a floating rate HELOC), I’m not sure  this is the best policy given our current ecnomic difficulties.

Some thoughts

Posted on March 20, 2008 at 4:02 am         By Ryan in Investing | Disclaimer

It’s been a while since I posted anything to the site. My life has been extremely busy with family, job and a number of other things. I’ve been very quite on the investing front as a result of this.

Thanks Big Ben

Posted on January 22, 2008 at 9:20 am         By Ryan in Investing | Disclaimer

Big Ben and Co. cut the federal funds rate by 75 basis points this morning.  That seemed to help soften the blow to the U.S. markets as they have mostly faded the opening gap.
Right now I have a very, very heavy cash position.  In my long term (read: retirement) accounts, I am still continuing to [...]

And we’re done…

Posted on December 31, 2007 at 3:08 pm         By Ryan in Investing | Disclaimer

2007 has come to a close. The Santa Claus rally didn’t really do much this year and we ended on a down note.
The RUT closed the year at $766.03 down ($5.73) for the day. All of the other major indexes shared similar performance for the lackluster close of the year.
Overall, 2007 was a [...]

Posted on June 15, 2006 at 8:19 am         By Ryan in Options Trading, Papermoney | Disclaimer
