Thanks for the nice article. Couldn’t it be that since June 21 (start of the spike in your chart) money has been allocated to TLT because it’s been down 30% since then? Even the early 2000 lows are around 85, it’s fair to say that TLT has been punished quite a bit and that it doesn’t really look like there is a huge potential to go for a short at this point. Rates can stay high for longer that’s likely but it’s a different setup if you just watch it from the sidelines than entering a short at this time. What are your thoughts on this ?

Much appreciated.

TLT is really interesting. Its a constant maturity ETF - so it is constantly buying long dated bonds, and selling them when they become short dated... so unlike a normal treasury, it does not have a "pull to par" benefit. I need to crunch the numbers, but I suspect TLT can fall and fall and fall....
