How About This for a Hedge Combo: TBT and TLT [View article]
It Monday after the Sunday....
Still think Lehman is going to pay a divi on this?
How About This for a Hedge Combo: TBT and TLT [View article]
You've been advocating this for a long time.
And the way it's goin', TBT will be at Zero before the Long Bond rate gets there.
Right now the long bond is at 1960's rates, about 4%
But inflation is at 4 times 1960's rates, about 6% or much higher.
Real returns are big negative.
Does that mean I have to pay ProShares at divi time?
When Wall Street stops having "systemic collapse" panic attacks and stops using the long bond as their personal Money Market Fund maybe then rates will reflect inflation and generate positive REAL returns.
Does depression and bond default mean rates go to infinity.
That should make TBT very attractive.
When Lehman rolls over and dies, I hope to hell they don't steal TBT.
