Long Gold and what to complement the Short TLT AAPL? A good question for me to ponder.

Good ideas and glad to hear that inspiration struck you!

What do you make of Defence stocks for the long book?

They may be defensive in more ways than one - Rheinmetall has already run up but there's others like SAAB, BAE, MHI etc.

Russell - have you considered a short trade against US CRE?

I think TLT buyers aren't looking for 4% for 20 years - they're looking for a cap gain from the Fed cutting rates.

Unfortunately for them, its looking more and more likely that there will be *no* rate cuts this year.
