Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: From an investment perspective, is the primary reason to invest in a real return bond to receive the inflation-adjusted value of the principal at maturity to maintain purchasing power, and not so much to receive the "real" interest rate payout on invested capital along the way?

If this is so, is it better to hold individual bonds with fixed maturities of shorter duration rather than an ETF like ZRR where the value fluctuates with the perceived interest rate environment, and purchasing power isn't preserved because it never actually matures?

Q: Cnbc headlines: market rallies are based onHOPE of a cure by Gilead. Nothing is conclusive?
Thought hope was not a good investing strategy. Also us gdp contracted by 4.8% in 1st quarter 2020. So fundamentals where far from good to begin with.
When do you think the market will go back to fundamentals?
This could be the reason for 5 trillion on the sideline?
Your view would be most appreciated.
Thanks!

Q: Hello dear team,
Hope you are well and had the chance to enjoy some good weather.
What are your thoughts on this company ?
my known facts(hope they are right)
They have 5 ODD with the FDA and some of them are on the fast track to be commercialized ?
they are partner with one if not the biggest mexico pharma (which is also World wide?) for the commercialization of Cauzma ?

stay safe,

Q: I still own wild and have great confidence in the former Disney executive changing things around. They own the family channel and are coming out with a great line up of movies in May—Good for all of us isolating at home. Do they make money by having more subscribers? How else do they make money? I thing at .80 cents this stock could be a multi bagger if things go right. What do you think.
