- PowerShares UltraShort Lehman 20+ Year Treasury ProShares 2x Shares (TBT)
Q: Do you think holding TBT would hedge my income portfolio in a rising rate environment? If not what is the best way to hedge an income portfolio with rising rates?
Q: You commented last week to Patrick about TBT.
I think that recent negative returns were related to the latter stage of the long bond bull market. This has been reversed quite impressively since january. Bill Gross was probably right from hindsight in his call for a new bear bond market.
So, as a growth investor, the idea of increasing returns on an otherwise meagre income from the fixed income part of my portfolio is quite appealing, and does not come out of worry on the market, but from seing an opportunity, and using it with reason.
Then, if I want to benefit going forward, like the next 6 months, of the general bearish trend on bonds that I believe fundamentally justified based on trade, currency and other issues, would TBF be a better bet for one holding that view?
Thank you
