Small-Scale Question Sunday for November 20, 2022

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

Asked this last week, but where's a good place to park a few 100k right now? Treasuries? Treasury ETFs? I don't want to throw any more into the stock market right now, but obviously don't want to hold onto that much cash.

I've been buying 4-week T-bills for a few months and rolling them over. Nothing at all looks remotely attractive so safety is king.

Janet Yellen being the least ugly girl at the bar is a sad state of affairs, but that's the same thing I've been doing. Everyone was hyped for i-bills the other month, but the variable rate on those is going to drop like a rock.

I'm just wondering if bond prices will bounce when the dip comes.

Guys, what's even going on with the economy? I'm simultaneously flooded with interest rate / stock price doomerism, and complaints about there not being enough qualified workforce, or even shortages of students who would want to get qualified.

It could be journos writing nonsense, but I'm getting the feeling of the system being torn apart...

Yeah, I have no idea at this point. There's been so much cash dropping out of the sky that there's no connection to reality any more. I can't tell if we're in for a depression or yet another redistribution-fueled bubble.
