US Government Operates Treasury Bond Interest Rate well. Bitcoin and Gold will Rise due to the High Treasury Bonds Intetest rates Controlling
Hey guys, I was just looking at the markets today and thinking about how crazy things are right now.
The US 10-year Treasury yield touched 5% recently and came back down, but somehow the S&P 500 and Nasdaq are still pushing higher.
It reminds me of what happened back during World War II. The US had a massive debt-to-GDP ratio of around 240%. Instead of just paying it off normally, they used Yield Curve Control to cap rates at 4.5% and basically let inflation run hot for two decades.
That slowly melted the real value of their debt down to 40% of GDP. The Treasury is still doing similar market operations today by buying back long-term bonds.
What this means for us normal folks is pretty simple:
if you just hold your savings in cash like dollars or won, inflation is quietly eating away your purchasing power every single day. We really need to hold assets like gold, real estate, or solid index ETFs like VOO and QQQ to protect ourselves. VOO has already jumped over 10% this year, and SCHD is up big too. Since VOO had an almost 20% run over the last four years, a slight slowdown in growth is totally normal.
For my own retirement accounts, I always make sure to keep a decent chunk in safe cash equivalents. That way, whenever the market takes a nasty dip, I have the dry powder ready to slowly buy more of those aggressive growth assets. It's all about playing the long game.
