Put MINT, TIP & GSY in your "compare" gonkulator.

1 yr: 2.44, 8.10 & 1.58% (respectively)

Yield: 1.07, 2.18, 0.56%

Net Expense: 0.35, 0.20, 0.27%

Looks like TIP goes up similar to PONDX & FNMIX.

I would say we are looking forward, not backward. If you think inflation is the problem, then TIP. If you want to park your money with less jolts, then MINT.

Oil prices and uncertainty about taxes.

Goldman's top economist on the economy:

Well I hope this dude is right. He's got a good track record. Second half of 2013 things should start to pick up. He's saying the Credit Crisis ends in 2013. Who knows though.....

I think we'll pullback from here. Maybe 1410.

What about BOND? That is a good mix of treasuries and corporates. Gross plays it fairly safe and stays on the short end of maturity because he's convinced rates are going up anytime soon. Pimpco Total Return mutual fund is also quite conservative and has lower volatility then other bond funds.

It's hard to analyze bond funds or bonds of one type or maturity based on yield alone because prices fluctuate inversely with yield; more so at the long end when yields get this low. Longer maturity bonds right now act like 0 coupon bonds. You don't go after yield (after all, there is none), you chase price based on changes in yield.

TIPs yields negative; their performance is from price appreciation alone for the most part. If TIP is an indicator of market anticipation of inflation, it's chart pattern is scary. Nasty rising wedge.

Got a load of MINT & THOPX for the IRA yesterday...

Anyone selling losers before the end of the year to offset the taxable amount?

That makes zero sense.

First, let me say that for those desiring to invest their IRAs or ROTHs choosing LNCO over LINE is a no-brainer. The reporting and tax issues surrounding MLPs are draconian.


In my SD IRA I don't have to report or otherwise do anything tax wise with the income, or if I buy/sell. Earnings are tax free. Of course in the future when I touch any money in my IRA accounts, it will be taxed as income, but that has nothing to do with my investment choices.

Oh, it's in your IRA. Then of course.
