Heard that too. People running around in circles. Im just twittling my thumbs doing nothing and just watching.I hear people get worried about the bond movement with the higher yields.
I think that China's biggest trade war weapon is bond yields. China buys roughly 7% of our government debt. It is a small percent but still should be significant enough to drastically impact yields, especially if their movements (if any) spook other investors to follow suit. If China stops investing in US debt, then bond yields will have to raise (probably significantly) to encourage other entities to fill their place. Bond prices would then fall since why would anyone want the older lower-yielding bonds.I hear people get worried about the bond movement with the higher yields.

Higher yields mean things like building manufacturing in the US gets more expensive, mortgages get more expensive, automobile loans get more expensive, credit cards get more expensive. Spending here drops while also counteracting the goals of tariffs. And it puts China in charge, even over the fed.
All true. China hasn't done anything yet. But they have quite a trade war weapon that we don't have.From what I've read China hasn't done this yet. Most people seem to suspect rising yield is due to organic flight away from US debt...which is probably a lot worse.
They have a few we don't have, like having a leader who is not a complete fucking moron.All true. China hasn't done anything yet. But they have quite a trade war weapon that we don't have.
Lol. Allegedly a 90 day pause happening.I like that we are changing policy worth trillions of dollars on a near hourly basis. It is very exciting (derogatory).
Millionaires were made.Lol this guy is just straight up manipulating markets... and no one will care in the end. Imagine being an insider and just having leveraged that. Wow.
Whelp, one day too late. One day. Get to do this all over again in 90 days though.One more bad day lower and I'm going to start trickling in (small cap stocks).

what price did you get in at?After several years, I am now 50% stocks and 50% bonds. Well see if I dont regret this.
Good luck. Since I don't sell mutual funds, just buy and collect them, I'm still in the market. I'm 67% stocks, 20% CDs (paying 4.6% to 5.4% purchased over the last two years of record stock prices), 8% real estate, and 5% cash in mutual funds (paying ~4.2%). I just wanted to get even more into stocks with this dip.After several years, I am now 50% stocks and 50% bonds. Well see if I dont regret this.
