The Federal Reserve has made it very clear that they are determined to stick to a monetary tightening cycle, which means rate hikes are coming. This also means there is opportunity for us to short the bond market.
If you follow my work, you also know that I am one heck of an accurate predictor of what the Federal Reserve is a likely to do. As a matter of fact, I have been wrong only one time with regard to predicting when the Federal Reserve would actually raise rates ever since the Federal Reserve began talking about it. Only one time...
It is certainly no secret that the federal reserves unprecedented, never been seen before in the history of finance, interest rate/debt suppression cycle has been successful in re-inflating a housing bubble and a stock market bubble.
The fact that the Federal Reserve has not allowed the market to determine fair value for debt has created distortions across every single asset class.
Personally, all I want to do for myself (and for you), is to put us in a position to capitalize on these distortions.
The unwinding of the federal reserves unprecedented monetary policy is going to have far reaching consequences, and all of these will present us with opportunity.
If I am right with regard to the federal reserves next move, this will present to us with an opportunity to short the bond market.
The Federal Reserve meets next month, June, to discuss monetary policy changes.
In this meeting I expect that the Federal Reserve will be raising rates.
I also believe that the market will interpret the raising of the federal funds rate next month as a signal that more rate hikes are coming, what this also means is we should be looking to bet against the bond market.
One instrument that can be used to short the bond market would be via ticker BND, this is the Vanguard total bond market ETF. You could take a position against the bond market by buying puts on BND.
Now again, I could be wrong with my prediction that the Federal Reserve will announce a rate hike next month however, gauging from my past frankly extremely accurate record of predicting what the Federal Reserve is likely to do, I myself would not bet against my own call here.

Well so far you've been pretty accurate as to what the Feds are thinking and their next move. I can't say for sure one way or the other as far as them raising rates, as you've said before nothing is real, up is down and down is up, and that steem is making us some crypto! I still believe in getting in on silver at these give away prices...
What I do see is housing being built all around here in Tampa, yet forclosures everywhere if you just look on zillow. I see housing so unaffordable that families lose them, they go to auction, companies come in, buy, renovate and flip or rent it out. More apartments going up everywhere yet it cost just as much to rent as it is to own. If they raise the rates, those who have adjustable rate type mortgage will crumble, less people will be able to keep up with the prices and the housing bubble will have to pop. I see this summer as very interesting when it comes to the crash of 2017. This just cannot go on. Something has to give and it will.

The fed will continue what they do, untill they are ready to see this thing fall. Everything resolves around the fed. Lets put an end to it and audit the fed. Then they will no longer have controll. Untill then you will just have to keep guessing when everything will go back to fair market value. Kepp stacking while its being manipulated.

Everything that I have read has indicated that there will be a rate increase in June. In addition, it seems as though the establishment is prepared to make a move to remove Trump from President. Subsequently, Greg has a very accurate history for calling rate changes and we would all be foolish to bet against him.

The Fed wants to reduce its balance sheet, isnt it a little bit counter productive to keep raising rates if this is their plan? They are the wizards of the economy maybe they will try a new spell.

G'day Greg,
What is your prediction for US stocks and gold when you are shorting the bonds? Gee wiz ay! Haha. What will a further rise in interest rates do to their 20 trillion? Even if it is a measly 0.25! Would I be correct in saying they have no intention of ever paying down this debt anyway?
Thanks buddy

This is perhaps one of the most dangerous times in the entire life of this relatively young country we call the USA. I do not believe we are at all united any longer and the rhetoric and venom that is spewed is proof in my book. Silver will in my estimation no doubt be the currency of choice because of its ability to be appropriated fairly cheaply. Gold is great, but most people have a hard time affording it and I for one don't see it as a good trading mechanism because of its high cost. If the federal reserve does continue to raise rates as Greg suggests, you better have some kind of insurance to fall back on as many have suggested. With our country in turmoil nothing is cut and dry any longer. Personally I suggest you turn to Christ while there is still time!
