TLT: Rate Expectations Down And Yields Up? It's All About The Term Premium
The TLT tracks the performance of long-term Treasury bonds, which appear to be losing their safe haven status. Recent weakness reflects the rising term premium owing to increased uncertainty over long-term interest rates. While posing a short-term risk, this rising term premium will increase long-term returns.

TLT: Trump Is Right About Interest Rates, So It's Time To Back Up The Truck
I see TLT's current price and nearly 5% yield as an attractive buying opportunity with limited long-term risk, despite concerns about U.S. debt. Lower interest rates are likely coming soon, either from Fed policy shifts or a recession, which could drive significant gains for TLT. Fears about U.S. government creditworthiness are overblown. The U.S. remains a superpower with multiple tools to manage debt and raise revenue.

SGOV & TLT: A Tale Of Two ETFs And The Duration Trade
The highly anticipated 'duration trade' in long bonds like TLT has underperformed despite the Fed lowering rates by 100bp since their peak. TLT's price hasn't rebounded as expected because its yield hasn't shifted enough, even though short-term rates have declined. In fact, YoY, long rates have risen! I've consistently favored the short end of the curve, particularly the SGOV ETF, which has provided reliable returns during this period. I continue to endorse it moving forward.

What Recent CEF Distribution Cuts Mean, And Why I'm Not Concerned
Diversification across bonds, senior loans, and CLOs is key to managing interest rate and credit risks in fixed-income portfolios. Market timing is extremely difficult; a balanced mix of fixed and floating-rate assets provides resilience regardless of rate direction. Distribution cuts in floating-rate CEFs are expected as rates fall but should be weighed against opportunity cost and risk-adjusted returns.
