Prices were out of control on the 8th and I thought so hard about dumping a lot of my small portfolio, but I'm working on not trying to 'time the market' so decided to hold... really regretting that now with some of my Covid plays especially.
I dumped my small amount of B of A at the open. I'm hoping the bank carnage will continue for a couple more days and then I'd probably get back in. Some folks think the banks growth will really lag behind the broad market for a year or two though, so I'm also considering just washing my hands of it.
The stars are really aligned today.. Retail sales skyrocketed in May, Covid clinical trial treatment data out on Dexamethasone, and Trump is considering another 1T stimulus package. Might get us back up to last week's highs.
Nice work, makes me really miss my college days when I had spring break to run a few last water sets. I haven't ran much of a trapline at all since graduating a few years ago.
This graph is what really alarms me, the 'rest of the US' is what is opening up, and they haven't gotten control of virus spread anyway. I read this morning that 40 states will have at least partially reopened by this weekend. Seems like the spread will really start to surge here in the next...

Whatever this is worth...
Edit: I' not sure why the link mentions a robot? It's just a Bloomberg article.
The non resident elk application deadline has already passed, but there is a left over draw in in late June that always has a fair amount of cow tags. Usually a surplus of tags in units with difficult public access, but you could always find a ranch to hunt on if needed.
I'm sure you've thought through all this, but what about a cow elk hunt instead? Tags are cheaper and with what others are saying about the antelope dropping their sheaths a cow hunt my be more productive that time of year.
We're in the same boat and still opted to refi. Our banker said if we stay at least 11 months I think it was that it will pay off. Getting rid of the PMI and paying the principal down as fast as possible to roll equity into the next place were our driving factors.
you're probably above 4% then right? You'd definitely still be money ahead to refi to a 15 yr (sounds like you can afford it if you've gotten that far ahead in 6 years)
Tyler Sims Outfitting in Wyoming has some cow hunts in units that always have leftover cow tags that you could still pick up this summer if he isn't booked up.
We're refi'ing right now too. Dropping from 4.375 30yr to potentially sub 3 15yr and it's only going to raise our payments roughly $200/mo. I'm pretty excited to start paying down the principal so much faster.
