  • Global T-Bills: Examining Portfolio Potential [View article]
    >> Nicolas Taleb's idea of constructing a portfolio that is 90% (or thereabouts) invested in T-bills from around the world and then the remainder invested very speculatively.

    this sounds like the 10% will involve plenty of leverage, and then sitting around waiting for a (favorable) black swan event. What's the chances of that?

  • Sleeping with Short Bond ETFs [View article]
    Capital One is currently offering a Savings Account at 3.55, vs. the 2.87 for SHV. And I don't think 3.55 is the best of breed either. However, ETFs are definitely more convenient. I checked Ameritrade, which offers bonds and bond ladders, and the rates are not competitive with the best listed on bankrate. But again, its convenient.
