horsedentist's Blog : I’m a Follower in the Market Nowadays and I Like the ETF TBT

I realized back in 2008 that I’m not good enough to dig and find my own good investments to own. Instead of shorting stocks back in the fall of 2008 I was hanging on and losing more and more each day. Nowadays I try to read what the experts think and react. The latest is QE2 and its relationship to the so called bond bubble. Some say the top of the bond market is here and maybe headed down after the QE2 announcement made last week. Now some at Zacks say that ETF TBT the ProShares UltraShort 20+ Year Treasury is the way to go. TBT tripled volume late last week and its price soared. I had bought into TBT a week earlier. Right after the QE2 announcement I watched to see what happened to TBT price, as it started moving up quickly and I doubled down. If you look at TBT charts you see the recent upswing. Now if QE2 means that the Bond bubble is over TBT or other similar ETF’s and stocks in general will be moving up. With double dip fears going away, interest rates rock bottom low how can you stay in bonds and not buy stocks? Well that is what the experts that I like to follow seem to be telling me.
