TBT is up like 46%YTD and there will likely be more than 2 fed funds rate raises this year. At least 50 bps each time. They might even do a 75 bp increase.

This is about as easy a play as you get this year. Long calls.

this might work out, but it has... multiple challenges.

1 - the correlation between the fed funds rate and 30-year treasury yields is only ~0.6 over the past 20 years
https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/graph-landing.php?g=Oo2S

2 - TBT is not only an inverse etf, but a leveraged inverse etf, and will have big volatility drag so choppy markets will kill your calls

3 - short-duration treasuries (which are MORE correlated to anticipated fed fund rate changes) are already stabilizing a bit... why wouldn't the long-end be next?

4 - if the war takes an ugly turn and stocks poo poo the bed, treasuries are still a possible flight to safety

5 - there are better alternatives for the same bear rates outlook. puts on TLT, shares of PFIX, shares of TBF, shorting /ZB futures or puts on /ZB, etc.

This is a pretty dumb take. If Netflix ran ads, they would just lose me as a customer, and I'd imagine I wouldn't be the only one.

This feel a lot like the same arguments I see in games about 'engagement', and 'Daily Active Users' and that garbage. Definitely add features and options for your customers, but don't degrade the experience across the board as you search for revenue or 'engagement' or whatever it is you are doing. That's the path to short term gains and a slow, unstoppable death.

Netflix spends a ton of money on poo poo content, which explains a lot. I honestly felt they were onto something with international productions that can be cheaper and have a big cultural impact (casa de papel, squid game) but I guess it doesn't feed the machine as much as it needs to.

I'm not saying it's free money but highly more likely to increase over the next 12 months I reckon.

TBT is based on the 20 year and not 30 but I agree with you generally. The fund is a leverage inverse of daily returns so there is risk there. This is a cheap way for a small retail investor to get profits in a rising rate environment. If the war gets worse we are all hosed and should have just gone into commodities like your oil play.

This thread doesnt do much with fixed income and i know why but this fund is kinda in this threads wheelhouse. The options don't have insane bid ask spreads either.

Feel like buying a leveraged inverse ETF which is up 50% in 3 months is not likely to be a profitable decision. Plus there isnt a bond bull to be found anywhere right now.

If the play is that short term rates will continue to rise (which is consensus) then maybe better expressed via floating rate bonds or just holding cash.

I was so pissed when I forgot to buy them ahead of earnings last quarter. I told my friend who only has a few thousand in this Roth to remind me not to forget is time. He didn't remind me but I didn't forget either ;).

Also bought some FITB ahead of earnings today because I wanted to play a regional bank. Can't win them all :sigh:

Have some F ahead of earnings on Tuesday, as well as BIDU and BRCM. We'll see whether I'm rejoicing or crying by Tuesday night.

They would just have a cheaper ad-supported tier, like several other streaming services already have.

Doing that and cracking down on account sharing, currently estimated to be 100 million households, will set the ship right again.

I'm confused by this. It's the daily inverse of the price of the 20 year treasury. Its a bond bear play unless you mean yield bull. As I posted we will probably see the fed raise rates by between 1-1.25% at a minimum this year. Rates go up and the price is going to fall. Youre right that the 46% was easy, with anticipated fed movements I figure it can still run. I chose the longer end because as you know the price is more sensitive on the longer end of the yield curve.

As for holding cash, um inflation? Why do you think the fed is rising rates?

I'm about to sleep but I wanted to comment on this because you've said it twice now and it's a relevant technical point for anyone trying to follow bond prices. It is NOT "the daily inverse of the price of the 20 year treasury". Its homepage states:
https://www.proshares.com/our-etfs/leveraged-and-inverse/tbt
"ProShares UltraShort 20+ Year Treasury seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to two times the inverse (-2x) of the daily performance of the ICE U.S. Treasury 20+ Year Bond Index."

That index, "ICE US Treasury 20+ Year Index", is used for TLT, basically the most popular bond ETF in the world for traders.

It's meant to be a leveraged inverse of TLT, https://www.ishares.com/us/products/239454/ishares-20-year-treasury-bond-etf

the weighted average maturity of TLT (avail on its homepage) is 26 years. there are a whole lot of 30-year treasuries in TLT

It’s a bearish bond play, no doubt. I was remarking on the fact that the trade is very crowded - no bulls in sight.

Longer duration is more sensitive to rates. But long rates are not necessarily correlated with short rates, as another post mentioned. What the fed does over the next 2-3 years is only a small piece of the puzzle for a 20-30 year bond. For example, the fed raising rates now to fight inflation could very well lead to lower rates down the line as inflation comes down. Often times during big rate hike cycles, long rates actually fall.

When short terms rates rise significantly, cash is usually among the best, if not the best performing asset. After all, rates are the return you can get on cash. Not to mention that the price of other assets are pressured.
