Bitcoin price today: slips to $117k from record peak; US inflation awaited
In a series of recent articles (here, here and here) I wrote about seasonality in the bond market. In this piece we will look at a “practical application”.
The Caveats
*Everything that I write here should be considered “food for thought” and NOT “an immediate call to action.”*Trading a leveraged fund has inherent risks that an investor should carefully consider BEFORE entering a position.The Strategy
This strategy uses funds available at Profunds, as follows:
*FYAIX (Access Flex High Yield) – High yield bonds
*GVPIX (U.S. Government Plus – 20+ year treasuries leveraged 1.25 to 1)
*MPIXX – Government Money Market fund
