Re: Can it really get any lower?     28-Jan-09 11:34 pm    
Been tracking RYJUX & the economic landscape. Agree RYJUX will be a great investment, but it might be a little too soon.

The Obama admin wants to keep LT rates down until housing recovers. The Fed will buy treasuries to keep rates down if they have to, to help housing recover.

Fed statement today even mentioned that they are willing to buy treasuries if necessary. Even if they buy the shorter end, that would still put a damper on LT rates going up & keep them lower than they otherwise would be.

Also if stocks fall for reasons other than inflation, many investors will initially move to treasuries just because too many still think treasuries would be a safer place to put their money than stocks. But once inflation takes hold, then LT rates would HAVE to go up.

Bottom Line: There's multiple situations hanging out there, that could keep LT rates down a little while longer. But it won't last forever. RYJUX is having a great year so far. But if the fed does buy treasuries while other countries hang on to them, RYJUX will go back down. So I'm going to wait until after the fed has bought a huge amount of treasuries and/or countries dump a large volume of US treasuries, to buy an inverse LT bond fund. At that point it will be a great investment.
