See the jobs report today 10/03?. WOW . Bearish sentiment will increase in the stock market after this unexpected jobs report. Job growth continues to climb in an unexpected manner. The economy is not slowing down despite the FED'S all out assault. Its crazy. The 10 year Treasury hit another high, its at 4.88%, close to a 20 year high. Money will flow from the stock market to the safe haven of treasury notes. Imagine this, if you have 10 mill invested in 10 Year Treasury Notes, you will earn $41,666 a month $500,000 a year in interest. Thats insane. Wy wouldnt you abandon the stock market and do that until things settle down.? its becoming clearer that we are going to be in a high interest rate climate for a while. Im staying in stocks and looking for opportunities to buy some beat up companies but proceed very carefully right now.
I'm doing the same with a allocation of 50% equities and 50% fixed income. On the stock side it's pretty much VTI ( total stock market) some energy holdings that have done well and Apple which I've owned for years. Homebuilders that you had mentioned in a previous post look interesting but I don't have any holdings in that group.
Fixed income I've kept the duration low but just now took a position in VUSTX thinking that rates are close to peaking. Still loving the I bonds I bought back 05.
