As for junk bonds, I’ve never been a huge fan, but a small position in your portfolio wouldn’t be terrible. As money markets and CD’s stop paying 4+% we will see more and more inflow into fixed income.

$SPY $GOLD $TLT $BGT $JPM https://realinvestmentadvice.com/can-paul-tudor-jones-and-stanley-druckenmiller-be-wrong/ This is a great article. I’ve stated for a long time that bond yields could remain higher for longer on the 10 year and especially the 30 years. The 2 year is about to run out of gas and will hit 3.5% soon. The 10 year, which mortgage rates track will ease up as the FED continues cutting rates, but I see the 30 year staying in the mid 4’s. It doesn’t matter which person wins this election, they are going to spend like mad. I still say 2026 peak. 2027 rollover and a complete depression could form 2028-2029. All debt driven and high unemployment. “We believe the slowing economic growth and lower inflation trends that persisted before the Pandemic are reasserting themselves. It may sound ridiculous today, but we wouldn’t be shocked if investors and the Fed were again worried about deflation in the coming years” Deflation will be very painful.

$SPY $GOLD $SILJ $TLT $BGT I like Frick’s terminology here. 7th inning is coming. 👍 That lines up perfectly with my timeline I’ve been stating for several years now. 2025 will be solid. 2026 peak 2027 rollover and then 💥 debt implosion! Drop those rates and get this housing expansion moving again. HELOC’s will be the nail in the coffin. Banks will generate hundreds of billions in profits off this next round of lending. Then a complete melt down happens. Get out of debt and make sure to have a 12 month emergency fund. The old days of 6 months won’t be enough when the next depression happens. Robert Frick, corporate economist at Navy Federal Credit Union, said in a note Friday. “Added to already strengthening spending, lower rates and increasing consumer sentiment could be the backbone of a seventh-inning economic surge.” https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/10/25/economy/consumer-sentiment-michigan-lower-interest-rates

$BGT $TLT $DLY $JPM $GOLD 2’s at 4.127 10’s at 3.944 We are about to Un-Invert the yield curve. This is the longest Inverison in history. July 6th 2022 is when it started. Over 2+ years and we still haven’t flipped. The bond market however is basically telling the FED what’s going to happen. They should have cut on July 31st. A .25% cut will do nothing. The lag effect takes months. They better giddy up.

$DLY $BGT $PHK $TLT $SPY For the last 18+ months I’ve mentioned multiple times to start building some long term bond exposure. DLY and BGT have been two of my favorites. Let’s look back at DLY the last year. While trillions remain locked up in short term vehicles paying 5%, long term bonds have marked up considerably. Going back to the low, DLY has marked up about 20% plus distributions. 30% Going back one year, it’s increased just under 10% plus it’s distributed roughly 9% monthly. So the return on DLY almost 20% in the last 12 months. Much better than a 5% money market or CD. It’s time for more money to come off the sidelines and get to work. https://www.morningstar.com/markets/is-t-time-ditch-your-money-market-fund-longer-term-bonds

$BGT $PHK $SPY $TLT $GOLD My post from one year ago. BGT up 22% plus distributions. While everyone is sitting on cash making 5% They could have been accumulating long corporate bonds. Basically 30+% returns in one year. It would take 6 years to get that with a 5% money market. Oh well, let us eat the cake. 🎂
