Seems like a dangerous time to go long, yes the Fed may cut, but then inflation is still here, either party could continue spending and increasing debt.

You are awesome. Super video!

👍 A video on bear vs bull steepeners explained in your usual clear way would probably be helpful for a lot of people!

I'm staying short with T-bills for now. Too much uncertainty and volatility with TLT. It's a crapshoot. I do enjoy gambling, but not with my retirement funds.

Yes please make a video on rates on the longe-end!

Great informative video. New to your channel, but impressed with your very clear and concise videos.

Nice YTD analysis. Thanks.

Thank you for all your clear and detailed information. I just started following you. Yes, I'd like more info on longer treasury etfs. I recently bought a modest amount of EDV from Vanguard for speculation/capital gains. I'm confident interest rates will go down over the next year. I've also started buying-laddering into IBT(H-M) etfs for my IRA instead of directly buying Treasury notes for my shorter term income needs. A decent alternative to a direct ladder build? I've been retired for a few years.

TLT peaked at $179.70 on 3/1/20 TLT if rates go up and TLTW if rates go down?

I bought 10k in ibonds in May of 2022'. Just now accessed my account since purchase. Is there a way I can roll those over into another TD investment? I only see the option to purchase from my bank account. Must I cash the ibond in first? Remedial question, I understand, but any assistance would be appreciated.

If you buy long bonds (20-30 years) with a "hold to maturity" and rates rise, you will fall into the same trap as the banks that have, and are going insolvent. If the bond vigilantes come back, this is a real possibility long rates may indeed rise. Also, it's nice to know you don't need your money for 20-30 years. LOL

i have TLTW ( buy write on tlt)

TLT has been a horrific investment. You can get 5.3 percent annualized on Treasuries. I'm surprised this is what people here are interested in. You can lose much money if you buy TLT at the wrong time. The risk reward is pretty bad.

Please show me how to check the auction results on Treasury Direct. I have tried but seems like not getting the right link. Thanks.

TLT is a swing trade at this point

Isn't BND better than TLT? 0.03% vs 0.15% on Expense Ratio. I think both can make some short term gain on the coming rate cut(s). But not likely a big pop. As stated long term rates will remain high for some time to come. Because of the continued demand from debts of all kinds. Needless to talk about refinancing on long term debts once they are due. Spending cuts and higher taxes are the only way out.

Actually, I'm thinking of shorting treasury bonds now, esp if Powell starts cutting rates.

Just set up a 5 year treasury ladder at Schwab. Average rate 4.45%

0.15% ????? no thanks!
