Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
FYI: Buying long-dated U.S. Treasury ETFs was a pretty unpopular idea late last year. That tide now seems to be turning.
You could say a lot has changed in a few short months. Consider that, last fall, the fact that investors were faced with the end of the 30-year bond rally and interest rates were expected to rise again put pressure on the value of bonds. More importantly, a new U.S. administration was coming in, with the promise of pursuing domestic growth policies that would fuel a stock market rally. It was risk-on.
