Re: Debt is a Negative Bond - The White Coat Investor
30 year mortgages are 1% higher than 30 year treasuries. This is the wrong comparison, as the duration of a 30-year Treasury is about 25 years, while the duration of a 30-year mortgage is about 12 years if carried to term, and less if paid off early.

Homer, you can buy fractional amounts of Bitcoin. You don’t have to have 47k to buy Bitcoin. You can invest $100. You probably knew that, but the way you worded a few comments made me unsure.

Buy May futures and take physical delivery, hold and hedge with further out on the curve to capture the contango. Otherwise, you have a very speculative chance of making any gains.
