    The idea is that the back end (10 and 30y) will rally if the Fed keeps on being hawkish as the markets will start to price in its all a policy mistake/probable recession. The nice thing about bonds is that you get paid to hedge. When you say 'hedge if it incorrect' im not sure if you mean put...

    Here is a nice graphical representation of an important concept I had not seen before in Antifragile (its in the Apendixes at the end of the book, which are not included in the aubiobook or its PDFs, which is why I had not seen) This is why bitcoin bears that aren't short are idiots. If they...

    Robinhood offering 3% on savings, absolutely amazing!

    I make 100% roi on a 100k portfolio every year.
