Hi GD and Cheif,

What is an investment that conservatively (without leverage) allows me to short the 2, 5, or 10, year treasury.

Or is one better off selling a far out in time put on a bond / bill?

Never entered that area - very ignorant.

Would like to start off slow and safe - cuz I believe it is a good time to begin that very long term bet.

When we grow from industry coming home and utilising AI and 5G robots/ facilities - we'll get overheated and rates will go up.

That's when rate inversions are a thing to worry about.

NOT inversions resulting from negative interest rates central banks impose on their citizens and banks, in the hope of them spending what remains of their worthless fiat currencies.

When that "Black Swan event" turns the millennials on the head, every one will say they didn't see it coming.

Relax, it will be 1973/74 all over again.

Thanks to you two, for discussing it here early!

Bob

My near term call, which I am pretty confident about (normally I am not confident about much) is that the overall market will give back 2 to 3% next week. June has been a huge up month. Still be a great month for bulls even with a 2 to 3% give back next week. Then July will most likely be up and off to the races yet again. Personally, I think Russell 2000 will be the place to be (IWM for me) starting 7/1 or so. Might be a 5 to 10% gain in July for IWM/Russell 2000 if a person enters on 7/1. We'll see.
