The market always gets skittish when yields rise consistently ; throw the yen debacle into the mix and it should keep the market on its toes for a while longer . Not even going to mention the potential for oil to spike because the commander in chief is the catalyst for that market .

I'm thinking of buying 20yr T-bonds next week, they are @ 5.17%. And I waited a minute to see something > 5%. But, Bessent & Co. will sacrifice the long end to keep the short end down. So, we might see 5.5% this year or better. If you look at the history of the 20yr, it ran above 5% from 2003 all the way back into the late 1960's. I'd hate to be caught holding a bag that long lol.

yeah I ain't getting any younger boohoo. Plus for me, I am using a large fixed income bag to provide marginable securities for margin @ options trading. The USTs are 92% marginable. They can sit there and pay me $500 a week, week in, week out, and provide more margin than I know what to do with.

Great! Somewhere to put all my crud(e) profits amassed over this war period. They are starting to look like a (very healthy) 401k that took a lifetime to build too :o

Don't worry Slugger. I will donate a road-train tanker full of diesel to our local farmers as a token of my appreciation!

Trump to Israel's Channel 12 News: I am considering a massive attack. Larger than anything that has been done before. I am close to making a decision. President Trump told Axios on Thursday that he is seriously considering restarting major combat operations in Iran including strikes that would be bigger than the ones carried out during "Operation Epic Fury." Why it matters: In a brief interview, Trump acknowledged that such a decision would have consequences and stressed he hasn't made a determination yet. Trump didn't give a deadline for his decision. Two other U.S. officials confirmed no call has been made and no new orders have been given to the military. Trump Tells Axios That Iran Is Not Ready To Make A Deal.
