5.24.2025 Tax cuts + QE to unleash animal spirits
Things that caught my attention this week 20-Year Treasury open auction to raise $16B: Yields spiked due to a lack of demand—or maybe the market is pricing in growth due to tax cuts. It’s anyone's guess. Japanese bond yields are spiking too. Time will tell, but it feels like a regime shift after 10–15 years … Continue reading 5.24.2025 Tax cuts + QE to unleash animal spirits

5.3.2025 (Stay Put or Buy more???)
I did lots of flip flopping between April 1st and now by buying/selling. The above tweet shows how masterfully one can be with allocating capital during very high VIX days and slowly trimming.
