Re: Long Treasurys

Most bond funds keep consistent duration, maybe there's another way to explain that fund

If you got burned holding LTTs at 2%, like I did, it's on you. Zero lower bound + shrinking population(and inflation to keep the lines going up), which Browne may not have considered.

ibonds are cash. we're only getting a return on long bonds if they do QE. No one needs to borrow your money and give you a real return. Government took your low risk returns by taking over student loans and mortgages. On top of that, shrinking skilled labor pool
