OT: Why is Warren Buffet always ahead of the game?

I took half of my on-hand cash and put into my Vanguard Brokerage account settlement fund (VMFXX). It pays better than CD (currently 4.73%) and has no term commitment. If you pull out in the middle of the month before the dividends are paid at months end you will still get a prorated dividend payment.

My bank is giving me about the same rate but I'm locked in at 4mos. I like the option you have better, but man Vanguard screwed me something bad a couple years back.

Vanguard, Blackrock and State Street own the country and the government, so there are worse places to put your money in.

USC game

We're not a very good team on the road, so there's that. USC has a good passing attack, and our weakest link on defense is our secondary. Add to the fact they play much better at home. Our coaches have consistently been out-coached - all of which leads to a likely defeat in my opinion. I hope for another W in the 3 games that are left, but I don't see one.
If Hartzog and Hill can play, the secondary should be respectable.

Kids, this is why you respect your elders.

So if you wouldn't put in extra cash into CD's, but wanted some in some vehicle that tries to at least keep up with inflation while also being accessible to some reasonable extent in case of emergency that isn't systemic, what would you go with?

So guaranteed within 6 months, though, right?
I don't guarantee shit.

I'm giving opinions based upon the here and now. Instead of making your sophomoric quips, tell us, educate us on how things really are. I suspect you can't do that, can you?

Anyone can maintain a normalcy bias as if things are always gonna be the same. It takes balls, and a lot of fuvking knowledge to put things out in the open like I do, because I know people are gonna give me shit about stuff they don't understand.

If anything I say benefits someone, then it's worth it.
I'm very happy to read and respond to any post you have on concrete ideas you have. Fire away.
