Betting On A Trump's Recession Before April 2nd: Let's Talk BND
I see bond ETFs as a bet on interest rates: mild upside if inflation dips, big win if a recession forces Fed cuts, or a loss in stagflation. I lean toward the first two scenarios. I see Trump's tariffs (25% on steel, autos, etc.) aimed at tanking confidence, spark a recession, and push the Fed to pivot. I still prefer TLT over Vanguard Total Bond Market Index Fund ETF Shares for rate plays; it's more volatile, closely follows interest rates and offers more liquid options.
