Re: Do 30-Year Bonds Still Belong in a Permanent Portfolio? 🙀

painful debate. FOMO. but the apps/off-ramps seem tightly controlled by American companies. As long as they can tax it, its not a currency. Id buy a big dip, but the Little Guy might not have much time to buy assets after a bust. eg 2009 vs 2020 instant printing
