    So if you sold US government bonds, where would you put the proceeds (after taxes!!!). My bond fund is full of car loans. My S&P fund is at an all time high. People are struggling and that has to trickle down to everyone. I do own some international fund that has been doing well as money flees. Though some of those indebted countries scare me.

    When I retired, I split my 401 K into three parts:

    Sorry, scaling problem between graphs.
    • 1/3d gold stock, 1/3d ARC, and 1/3d TSLA
    • After six months, moved the least performing to highest performing
    • After one year, moved the least performing to highest, 100% in TSLA
    • In 2021-22, second wife began refurbishment of house
    • In 2024, Elon became visibly distracted and TSLA products failed to advance
      • Converted 30% capital gains taxed TSLA to 30% tax credit solar roof
    • Last month, saved $130, tax free, cost avoidance
    Hindsight is always 20/20 but there was no way to predict a second doubling of thee TSLA stock. Had the election gone the other way, I suspect that second doubling might not have happened. Regardless, from "no dividend" taxable income to non-taxable, cost avoidance is a problem I can live with.

    I'm still an ex-street rat turned millionaire...having never bought one share of Tesla.
