Which ETF would have made you more money in the past month? Owning the S&P 500 or owning the “Inverse Bond ETF (TBF)? Both did really well!!!
No doubt stocks have had a very good run of late. Is this the only place that we can make good monies? Some are concerned about stocks being overvalued and wonder, where can we find something that is low priced. Below is an example of buying something out of favor on a 15-year support line. Doubt that anyone needs a reminder how low rates are right now, which means means what about TBF? (see post here).

This is not a knock on stocks…just wanted to show that decent monies can be made in other avenues too.
Rich,
You are correct and good point.
This is why I think it is key to know what you are buying. I suggested TBF to lean towards the longer end of rates.
All of the yield charts I have shared deal with the longer-term rates.
However, I suspect the 10yr and below inverse bond funds have not done as well.

Just what’s in favor or not with the FED monetization efforts.
