The problem is services inflation. It's sticky. It's likely to remain around 6% for the next year as wages and rents tend to lag the goods inflation. Also, things like tuition and health care tend to keep increasing.

10y yield LT chart schrts.co

Having broken decisively above the 2011-2021 range, I see no resistance till the 2007-2008 double top.

A terminal Fed Funds rate of 4.6% implies the same thing. Or a historically inverted curve. This changes my expectations for trough valuations in this recession.

I thought I was being pessimistic enough, in my stock buy-prices (and shorting QQQ), but I wasn’t. I should have been more aggressive in selling rallies, and held my shorts longer. Previously, I said I would add to long positions when QQQ took out the June lows. We are almost there, but I am not buying. Not selling either, since I like the LT prospects of all my positions. I will sit on my 30% cash and re-evaluate.
