39 is sinking. It continues to sink. And I feel like it won't float for the time being.
$Direxion Daily 20+ Year Treasury Bull 3X Shares ETF (TMF.US)$ Hmm, is it finally time to go below 40?After the past three rate cuts, all interest rates have risen, so this rate cut phase is more about the 'easing of restraint interest rates due to high inflation moderation' rather than 'economic stimulus in an economic downturn phase', it feels like it has been proven. The economy appearing robust is the judgment of the market actually trading bonds, and I think it means that bonds are not necessary in the current economic situation. In fact, long-term bonds have been sold since September, and interest rates have continued to rise. The rate cut in September first led to a rise in stocks and a fall in bonds under a robust economy, and the second cut in November, with Trump's election, further raised interest rates due to reignited inflation concerns. While there was increased expectation for a decrease in interest rates due to interim fiscal hawkish personnel appointments, ultimately, the reappointment of Powell led to calming and a rebound. The third cut in December saw rising inflation concerns and further interest rate hikes due to statements about the slowing rate of rate cuts amidst inflation worries. The current interest rates are moving not in the context of whether the economy is in good or bad shape, but within the dimension of a robust economy facing the range of worsening inflation or not. It's unlikely to drop below 30, but the biggest issue is that all the Trump policies being discussed currently seem to have elements of increasing inflation. This should lead to interest rate hikes with each implementation of these policies. In the short term, Triple Leveraged ETFs (TMF) are likely to continue fluctuating while pushing down towards the bottom. The global trend towards inflation is consistent, including in Japan, but if as expected, excessive long-term inflationary policies like tariffs are implemented, it's highly likely that a high inflation recession, where purchasing power is affected and consumer demand decreases, will eventually arrive. It's uncertain whether this will happen next year or the year after, but if substantial increases are expected, then the only choice is to wait for them. Of course, there may still be fluctuations of around $10 or $20 even before a major recession, but expecting the significant increases of 100 or 150 that TMF investors are hoping for seems unlikely from the current price range of 30-60, unless it's a major recession scenario.But if we wait patiently, eventually signs of the impending recession will emerge. So, it might be a good idea to sell all held stocks and switch to TMF once consecutive signs are confirmed by indicators. Someday, although I do not know when, it will be timely to invest once the recession arrives.

ひろ0723 OP : Right now, the market is fluctuating based solely on Trump's remarks, so if there is a bombshell statement, the situation may change. What do you think?
hiroピー : The current situation is the same as that of 2008. However, it is similar to the interest rate situation during the stagflation of the 1970s. What do you think will happen next?
ひろ0723 OP hiroピー : Oh exactly! I agree. In 2006, the economy began to flourish in a state of deregulation, high interest rates, and high inflation, so interest rate cuts began calling them preventive interest rate cuts, but the subprime issue had already arisen behind the scenes, and dealing with it took a backseat, and it was a Lehman shock. This time, too, conditions are in place due to deregulation, tariffs, and tax cuts, so there is a condition that the Fed's interest rate hike will take a backseat. Since the past 2000, the timing of interest rate hikes and interest rate cuts was slow, and all of them were recessions. But the Fed isn't stupid either, so the tempo of the September rate cut is fast this time, and I think the main focus is on taking quick action even when inflation goes too far next. Well, I feel that the Fed is not going to take the lead either. If so, I think a recession will be close if Trump, who is particular about cutting interest rates, dismisses Mr. Powell while asking the Fed to manage interest rates and forcefully starts touching interest rates, but it's a future development. Another person touched on the drastic revision of the number of unemployed people, but there was once again this year, but since there were no other indicators to confirm it, the flow did not change, and there was no major influence that dragged back. In particular, the employment relationship is a method Trump excels at most, such as various mitigations, tax cuts, employment promotion through immigration exclusion, and employment creation through US investment coercion using tariffs as a trump card, so I believe expectations for Trump, who has just taken office, will exceed temporary shocks. I'm sorry. It has derailed, but the only material that can be seen now is high inflation and interest rates, but depending on the steering by the Fed, will it be a recession, or if it can be operated well, is it within the range of a soft landing. There are only uncertainties, so I'm sorry for the absurdity.I think 1 year will be a booming economy, high inflation, high interest rates
hiroピー ひろ0723 OP : It was very helpful.
I don't think the US economy will hold if interest rates continue to be high. Also, I think the employment statistics are pretty bad. I think the current situation will be the same as that of Lehman. Problems such as unrealized losses on bank government bonds and commercial real estate issues are piling up.
The global economy is expected to be strange in 2025. I anticipate that the US economy will go crazy due to some kind of trigger.
I'll raise the cash ratio and wait and see
ひろ0723 OP hiroピー : That's right. I think I'll just do it. The most troublesome thing is deregulation. In finance, the government should be aware of the possibility of another Lehman happening, so it's a matter of whether senior officials can stop it or if the Federal Reserve can maintain its independence. Until it goes out of control, I'll buy TMV, though.If it starts to go crazy and consumption can't catch up, it will quickly drop from the sales indicators, so I will jump into TMF.Tariffs make things worse for surrounding countries, causing exports to cool down quickly, so it will probably be short-lived. I will go big on gold from the beginning of the year while hedging with TMV for six months.
hiroピー ひろ0723 OP : You really seem to know everything ^_^
It's helpful.
When expenses are cut, liquidity disappears. In addition, actual retail sales are declining. I want to Buy more TMF, but...
The official Index ETF is not bad, so stock prices rise structurally forming an Index bubble.
Interest rates are rising. I'm a bit scared so I can't Buy stocks. (I'm buying things like Palantir to earn pocket money) I'm lost on what to do these days.
ひろ0723 OP hiroピー : Last week, Trump requested the removal of the debt ceiling due to the insufficient budget in March, which led to another increase in interest rates. In essence, the hawkish personnel changes are just for show, as they are fully committed to fiscal intervention. I think we will definitely see conflicts, dismissals, and resignations one after another, just like last time. By the way, how about Palantir? That's great. In the defense and space security sector, 12 companies were selected, and two of them are Axon and Palantir.
