TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We reiterate TLT as a precautionary holding, to protect in the event of another market retracement. TLT is an ETF that represents US 20 long term treasury bonds of a term of 20+ years. Yields on long term treasuries have rebounded back to 2.00% making this another good entry point. We now recommend setting a stop loss at $135. Yield 1.51%

E.T.F.'s

COMMENT

Represents the 20+ year maturity of the USD treasuries. You get USD exposure and the long duration exposure. For a Canadian portfolio, if we get a deflationary wave, the USD and long bonds do well.

E.T.F.'s

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jul 06/20, Down 15%) This was a hedge against the market falling during Covid last year. TLT is the best hedge to the Canadian long stock investor. TLT holds long-dated US treasuries (in USD). When things go pear-shaped in late 2018 or March 2020, TLT does very well, because there's a rush to market safety. Also, TLT will reduce market volatility. He still holds this, but sold part of it. The consensus now is that there will be sustained inflation moving forward. TLT should continue to do well. He expects this to fall round $120 and would add to his holdings here. The bond bull market is not over, he feels, though many do.

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly TLT is an ETF that represents US 20 long term treasury bonds of a term of 20+ years. Yields on these treasuries have been rising steadily since the pandemic based market collapse last March from under 1.00% to 2.25% now. This is a precautionary holding, to protect in the event of another market retracement. With the S&P500 trading at 22.4x earnings the market is at risk to correction if this season's reported earnings disappoint. As we consider this a hedge, we do not set a target or stop-loss, but instead will monitor trends in the underlying yield as a signal. Yield 1.61%

E.T.F.'s

PARTIAL BUY

Duration is an asset class. Have been adding to TLT as yields are rising. In the back half of the year, we will see Feds step up purchases of longer term bonds. Don't look for it to get back to ATH. It will probably peak around $150-155. Trade duration as an asset class. It depends how willing the Feds are to step up purchases. Be active and trade. Don't invest.

E.T.F.'s

TOP PICK

It will be vulnerable if rates continue to rise. It has served him well in times of market turmoil. He sees higher inflation and higher rates, but the US$ would go higher as well.

E.T.F.'s

DON'T BUY

Bond yields have been one of the biggest stories in the past several months. 10-year yields in the US continue to move higher. Be careful about buying it here. Opportunity for long rates to move higher.

E.T.F.'s

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sep 23/19, Up 15%) He's owned this since 2015. He feels bond yields will decline. As debt increases in the world, it stalls growth and leads to lower bond yields. During economy uncertainty, Canadian holders benefit from a weakening US dollar and lower yields, a double whammy. He will add to his holding

E.T.F.'s

PARTIAL BUY

A past pick of his for Canadian investors. TLT does a great job of being a ballast in times of distress. Lower interest rates drive bond rates And the Canadian dollar will drop and the USD will rise. This amounts to a double-whammy for TLT when thrives in tough times. It's possible that rates can decline even more like they have in Europe. Don;t back up the truck with this, but tou need assets like this in your portfolio.

E.T.F.'s

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sep 23/19, Up 16%) For the Canadian investor this is the best hedge available without using derivatives, options or futures contracts. He does not think the bond-bull market is over. The US$ is seen as a safe haven currency and US treasuries are seen as a safe haven asset. The return can be substantial in times of economic weakness.

E.T.F.'s

TOP PICK

This is an excellent hedge for Canadian investors. Don't look at the yield. If we see more panic it will do well. Canadian investors can also benefit from the currency swing.

E.T.F.'s

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 29/19, Up 39%) This asset does well in a deflationary shock period. It has a 20 year duration, so the impact was significant when interest rates dropped.

E.T.F.'s

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 21/19, Up 18%) You aren't going to hear a lot of talk of long dated treasuries. If you go back to 1982 and compare 30 year bonds and equity markets through to today they have done similarly except the bonds have had less volatility. The TLT-T is the best hedge for equity market weakness. It is at a reasonable level of support.

E.T.F.'s

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 17/18, Up 3%) It’s a bond. Essentially, if you want a percentage of your portfolio in bonds, this is the way to do it. However, the interest rate has gone so low that the strike price came in.

E.T.F.'s

COMMENT

Bond ETFs have come off a bit, as interest rates have started to move up. For every portfolio, you want some exposure to bonds as a buffer in a correction. He owns IEF, lesser duration bonds. Don't avoid fixed income. If equity markets take a turn for the worse, at least your bond portfolio will do well.
