These are a few bond funds that I’ve added to my list. $DLY $BGT $TLT These are the 3 funds I’ve started positions in. As we move into 2026, I will continue taking profits with my mining positions and rotate more into bonds. I’ve also mentioned that I will be adding to my $XOP $XLE positions as well. I want more sector exposure without single ticker risk. Protecting myself from one off events. Miners are still 70+% of my portfolio. Energy is about 13% Bond funds about 4% Lately, as I trim miners and add to my other sectors, I’m not dropping below the 70+% level because miners continue to run. I’m obviously not complaining, but I will get more aggressive in January rotating. I don’t need anymore capital gains on this years taxes. NMCO DBL VCIT These 3 funds will more than likely be my next tickers in the bond space. Bond investors (creditors) are paid before equity holders (stockholders) in a company's liquidation because they have a higher claim on assets.

$TLT $SPY $DLY $BGT The "dots" from the September meeting, when the Fed resumed its easing cycle with a 25-bp cut, showed a policy rate of 3.6% by the end of this year, 3.4% at the end of 2026, and 3.1% by the conclusion of 2027. Janus Henderson's Wilensky thinks the Fed will stick to the 3.4% policy rate next year in the dot plot, higher than the 3% being priced by the market. Examples of Funds (Tickers): iShares 7-10 Year Treasury Bond ETF (IEF): Focuses on U.S. Treasury bonds with 7-10 years remaining until maturity. iShares 5-10 Year Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF (IGIB): Provides exposure to investment-grade corporate bonds with 5-10 year maturities. Vanguard (VGIT): Offers exposure to intermediate-term U.S. Treasuries. Vanguard-(VCIT): Tracks an index of intermediate-term investment-grade corporate bonds. I’m in BGT, DLY and TLT.

A good bond fund can generate 4-7% in yields. The lost decade in the stock market is coming.

$VCIT $DLY $BGT $PCN $SPY Back in late 2022/early 2023 I started mentioning that corporate bonds were in a great accumulation period. At the same time I was also suggesting accumulating mining companies and emerging markets. We are now leaving the bottom of the accumulation phase. The first mark up period is occurring. I see two more levels of extensions coming our way. I continue to be completely overweight mining companies. I will begin taking more profits and moving some proceeds to individual grade A corporate bonds and bond funds. 70% core equities in miners/energy 30% bonds At some point I will scale in short positions to hedge. In the green circle, that’s the area I believe we’re in. That goes for miners, energy, emerging markets and bonds. I still like agribusinesses as well. I’m currently weighted at 80% mining companies.

$SPY $DLY $DBL $BGT $PHK Rick mentions towards the end what I’ve been saying for 2+ years. Corporate bonds are solid, especially moving forward as short term yields ultimately fall. Individual higher grade bonds are paying 5-7% There simply isn’t much risk there. As money market and CD rates fall towards 2.5-3% in 2026, those that accumulated bonds will be earnings 100+% more in interest. Remember, bond holders get paid before anyone. A good look into municipal bonds is a good idea as well. Especially for their tax savings. As this year moves forward I will continue orchestrating my plan. At some point I will hold; 70% core positions (miners and energy mainly) 30% corporate bonds (individual and CEF’s) 30% hedge on short positions.

Grade A/B long corporate bonds will continue throwing off nice yields and are safe. Remember, bond holders always get paid before the shareholders do. 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 $B $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.
