Pete

I am short long treasuries through ETF
"TBT". I would also like to short the US dollar. Is there an ETF I can use to do that?

I also have quite a bit of Vanguard GNMA. I hate to put more in it because of the high share price. I like to buy it when it's less than $10 per share.

I also have a significant holding of Vanguard Treasury Money Market fund. Again, I hate to put any more in with the interest rate so low.

CVX has done very well for you! Very nice.

RE: VWEHX, I've never owned a "high-yield bond fund." I've often thought of getting into one, but never quite got around to doing it. Is now the time? Or is now the time to RUN from one?

Best wishes,

I2

>>I see shorting the US dollar as an exercise in futility<<

Boca, but you can 2x short the 20 year bond... TBT

with obama rattling china's cage... interest rates could explode at any moment.
