The Bond Dream Room
With the seeming popularity of the Gold Scream Room, I thought that I'd start a bond alternative with a positive twist. TLT up 12% so far this year! Yeaah!
Re: The Bond Dream Room
It feels like I have to knock on wood in this room. It's the power of loss aversion that makes the Gold Scream Room such a nice place to go and vent. BTW, Reub, I love what you've done to this place.

Re: The Bond Dream Room
I always though the gold scream room was for up AND down - like a roller coaster. Basically higher volatility in gold.
Re: The Bond Dream Room
When it comes to bonds don't pinch me 'cause I don't want to wake up.

No pot smoking in the Dream Room!!

I'll take it! No red pill for me. (Whoops, wrong movie).Jake wrote: What if this is like inception, and we are in a dream within a dream...
Seems like it. I'm mostly in directly held bonds, but the price of TLT is what I look at to gauge bonds in general. It's easier.Reub wrote:I'm going to venture that those of us who have purchased 30 yr. LTT's recently are up even more than the TLT price.

Who would have thought bonds would be ruling the roost this year. I thought rates had nowhere to go but up.

I been wrong and several others! The future is very unpredictable.

I'm glad someone made a "bond dream room."
Go bonds!
Go bonds!

Re: The Bond Dream Room
I misread it as "Blond Dream Room".
Imagine my disappointment.
I would very much enjoy reading about blonds' dreams. OTOH, I strongly suspect Reub is not the kind of blond whose dreams I'd like to read about.

You're obviously referring to this thread http://gyroscopicinvesting.com/forum/ot ... the-forum/ where I'm asking what women think about the forum.dragoncar wrote:How do you think a female would take your comment?rickb wrote: I misread it as "Blond Dream Room".

Read my post here again.
It's clearly a joke. But the joke isn't that I was hoping to find a thread full of dreams about blonds, but rather a thread where blonds would post their dreams. Perhaps too subtle, but I'm turning the "dumb blond" stereotype inside out.

Re: The Bond Dream Room
Has anyone checked on the price of bonds lately? The yield on the 10 year is down to 2.4% and 2.0% sure looks possible! Please don't wake me from this dream.
I never would have even owned a LTT before I found the Permanent Portfolio.

Yep. TLT breached 116. It's nice to see blue instead of red on the bond part of my google spreadsheet.Reub wrote: Has anyone checked on the price of bonds lately? The yield on the 10 year is down to 2.4% and 2.0% sure looks possible! Please don't wake me from this dream.

Re: The Bond Dream Room
