$iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF(TLT)$ U.S. Braces for a Deeper Bond Sell-Off Washington is bracing for impact. If there was a single factor that forced Trump to pause tariffs, it was the bond market. Global retaliation, combined with investor fear, sent shockwaves through U.S. markets. The sell-off highlighted the dangerous path protectionism could lead us down. If the U.S. moves aggressively toward protectionism, foreign buyers have little incentive to hold U.S. debt. Domestic demand would fall, production costs would rise, and U.S. exports would become less competitive. That spells lower global revenues and, in turn, diminished confidence in U.S. Treasuries. This triggered a historic bond rout. Yields on the 10-year Treasury—the benchmark for

$S&P 500(.SPX)$ $Apple(AAPL)$ Good day, Tiger investors. We seem to be stepping into a very different world—one marked by increasing uncertainty, economic upheaval, and shifting global dynamics. This past week has been especially turbulent, touching nearly every aspect of our interconnected systems—economics, finance, global trade. The shockwaves are real, and they demand thoughtful discussion. As investors, we are compelled to look beyond the noise. Yes, the headlines are intense. But we must keep our focus: evaluate risk vs. reward, analyze the long-term implications, and understand where opportunities lie amid chaos. That’s our job, and that’s how we prosper when others panic. A Changing Global Lan

On Monday, when the eyes of all market participants were attracted by the roller coaster market of US stocks triggered by the "tariff extension rumor", the really strange market actually happened in the US bond market...In the past 24 hours, the U.S. bond, which was regarded as the "king of safe haven" last week, suffered a sharp plunge at lightning speed, and the 10-year U.S. bond yield almost completely returned to Trump's level before the reciprocal tariff was announced last week!This historic sell-off caused almost all medium-and long-term U.S. bond yields to surge by more than 20 basis points in intraday trading on Monday, with the 30-year bond yield rising nearly 23 basis points in late trading, setting a record in 2020. The biggest one-day gain since the early COVID-19 pandemic.It c

Tariff Shock Rocks Wall Street: Big Tech Crashes First, Rest Followed For the first time in years, America's largest tech stocks —the "Magnificent Seven" (Microsoft, Apple, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, Nvidia, and Tesla)—collectively lost hundreds of billions in value within hours. In total, roughly $760 billion was wiped from the market value of these seven tech giants in the extended session, an abrupt shock that caught even seasoned traders off guard. Why did the M7 stocks tumble so sharply? In a word: exposure. These tech titans are deeply intertwined with global supply chains and overseas markets. $Apple(AAPL)$  , for instance, relies on Chinese manufacturing for iPhones – and its stock dove nearly 7% after hour

Replying to @nomadic_m:🙏🏼 for the tag nm. Interesting to read! So once again, New Zealand is excluded from a feature on what’s marketed as a global platform? Are Aussie members also left out? Mig and Ah_Meng, do either of you have access to this feature? @Mig @Ah_Meng Cheers ic for filling us in on the details @icycrystal //@nomadic_m:no such thing in NZ! very interesting betting mechanism. Wow I learnt something new again today @Barcode //

I opened $iShares 10-20 Year Treasury Bond ETF(TLH)$  ,I bought more TLH because with tariffs in place, the risk of a recession is higher, so I'm taking a more cautious approach.

China selling is already baked into expectations. 

🤔 should think about the short/long carefully this time being!

Short if you are Hodler. 

Chances to bullish market

If China short. It still need to convert to RMB. Thus weakening its own currency. Would China do that?

As above China would not want to devalue RMB

Shifting entirely to Treasuries might protect capital, but it sacrifices growth.Inflation risks could still erode real returns, even at higher yields.Alternatives like dividend aristocrats or gold offer safety with upside.Long-term investors shouldn’t time the market based on fear.Partial hedging makes sense, but going all-in is too defensive.Balance is better than retreat.
