Inflation has come down down, FED is planning to begin cutting rates this year. Interest rates are the highest in the US of any developed country. Long term bonds especially are a good investment here. EDV and TLT both track them and are currently paying a good yield too. I expect these to double from current prices over the decade. The next time things break and...
Seeing the top in 10 years of the 30Y bonds and the top of Fed Funds Rate I believe its time to buy long duration ETF´s bonds. Let´s see whats happened in 1 year. Starting position in EDV and seeking for another opportunities
We haven't had to manage cycle risk, on a sustained basis to the downside, since 2008-2009 and 2000-2002. The biggest problem in financial markets right now is there's no Event. This is just Cycle-Risk and we haven't had to manage cycle risk - on a sustained basis to the downside - since '08-'09, and 2000-2000 before then. The Fed is in QT. Financial conditions...
It appears that there is at least 15% more downside to EDV before a possible trend reversal. I have two separate channels made up. If support fails EDV may find it self within the lower channel. The long term economic picture still seems to be uncertain. With more clarity coming with time. A bounce or failure at the long term support could very well happen within...
sell bonds and buy some stocks right here
About the only bond I am buying. We should be making a All time high here, Nice dividend
If precious metals aren't the thing for you, the classic investment hedge for safety is holding bonds and bond funds. I like EDV a lot and it holds its value steady long term for the buy/hold/rebalance crowd. Bonds cooled off a little after the late August rally lost some steam, but it looks like its picking back up after the worry about global recession looms...
I like to hold EDV as a long term treasury note fund as both a market hedge as well as a haven during correction cycles. This is one of three ideas on bond funds as market hedges.
It may close the month with a 6/10 MA crossover, a positive MACD and a strong RSI. I would say it is a buy candidate for now, and will give it one more month for better signal.
EDV has done well since the S&P cooled off at the beginning of the year. The two have a predictably negative correlation, however, even though the S&P has been doing relatively well since mid-February, a weak pennant has formed in EDV and there are signs of a positive breakout.
1. If breakout, buy with stop. If breakout confirmed, buy more. 2. If dips, wait until lower trend line (support) is hit. If support holds, buy this dip with stop and hold (if worked) until upper trend line (resistance) is hit then go back to 1. If aggressive, can short dip, short broken support.
