Market Milestones: 60/40
Between tariffs and earnings, you’d think it couldn’t get any crazier—yet here we are. TLT still can’t catch a bid no matter what’s happening. It’s been in a downtrend since the double rate cut whammy back in September. Even during a technical bear market, TLT couldn’t find buyers. In fact, the bond market forced a pivot from the Trump administration on April 9th. This is a major problem for the U.S., which needs lower interest rates to refinance nearly a third of its absurdly massive debt load this year. If you're still holding onto the old-school 60/40 portfolio, you've likely been punished in both of the last two bear markets—2022 and now. Bonds didn’t hedge anything. That’s exactly why I’ve shifted to what I call the millennial 60/40 split: 60% Bitcoin, 40% equities. It's a modern, conviction-based portfolio allocation for those who have been truly orange pilled.
