Glad I bought a few shares of an R2000 ETF a couple weeks ago. Up like 8% since then.

In March I got a Discover card with 0% interest until June 2025. Got the balance up to $7,500; only another $2,500 headway before I run out of room there. I figured a year-long interest-free loan was worth something.
This is in the US in an area where $18-20 USD is starting pay at McDonald’s. CNAs might be paid in that ballpark, but even so, unless hired through an agency, which would certainly be more, there’s employment taxes at a minimum. I’m not sure what level of care was involved in the scenario I mentioned, whether they needed an RN, or if LPN or CNA (or some combination).

This might be another -2% day on the S&P. Nasdaq is -3%, Russell is -3%, VIX is back above 20 as I type this.

Quite an interesting day in the markets, as we’ve gone from -1.6% on the S&P in a little over an hour of trading to the current +0.6% and still climbing.
Fed just added 50bps of rocket fuel to the S&P
Economic indicators are flashing amber but the market doesn’t seem to care as everybody else (EU, UK, CNY, JPY) is doing worse economically speaking.
