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

Re: US stock exposure without severe Mag Seven overconcentration

I'm underweight stock. But the AI bubble might not be, if it fuels a drone-swarm war. And/or there's timing the bailout, we only had about a month in 2020 to buy the dip. My top concern remains the Fed walking away from long bonds and funding government with only short duration forever. But I think ...

Re: Left wing economics

Everyone reading 1984 but few will change their mind about 2020.

My 90s Stanford undergrad experience didnt feel socialist, but there was never a mention of Rand, Libertarianism, or what inflation is.
