Q: Many months ago, everybody and their brother was predicting interest rate increases, so I sold the bond funds in my RRSP (primarily ZAG) and bought short term bond funds like ZST and XFR. And for some fun /an experiment, I bought some TBF. I try not to time the equity market (as per your sage advice), but I could not resist with bonds (because it seemed like everyone was convinced about the interest rate direction). Good news is that TBF is up 22% YTD; and ZAG is down 13% YTD, but I do not understand why I do not hear anyone promoting TBF as a solution for this rising rate environment. What am I missing? Is there a liquidity risk for sellers when the rates start to flatten out; or is there a significant and quick price plunge risk; or...??? Thanks in advance for your comments.
Q: Suppose an investor believes that the US Treasury market is at the end of its multi decade rise and likely to collapse within the next 1-3 years. Is there a low cost way to short US Treasuries you could recommend? If so then what about at different maturities? What would be your opinion about this strategy and its risk?
Q: HI guys:
Do you know of an investment vehicle, like a mutual fund or ETF, that acts like an inverse bond fund; that is the price of the "bonds" increase as yields rise? It might be helpful in this interest rate environment.
Thanks
