Bull market remains despite QT continuing to ratchet up. Amazing to see new highs, but seems justified by great earnings reports? Starting in September, QT ratchets up to $50B per month. Let's see what $600B per year in QT and 1% increase per year in rates does to these markets. Can they survive that double barreled shotgun, plus the trade war with China? Surely, we're at a peak this very moment. BTW, I'm now laddered monthly in bonds out to 2 years, yielding on average 2.7% with 65% of my money, and in cash yielding around 1% with other 35% of my portfolio. I'm living off the interest, so I've had to take a cut in what I pay myself. :) There is opportunity cost, but I feel safe. When will the break in markets come? That's the million dollar question.
