Three Minute Trend Talk™ – Go Big or Go Home

Wow, these are interesting times but in case you’re in a hurry here are three things you need to know: First, you’ve probably already heard the news that there was a major bank failure last Friday, the biggest since 2009 which is sending ripples through the banking sector and through the bond market. It’s a major concern, and the strategy adjustments we made over the past couple of weeks are really helping. Second, remember those great rates on Treasuries we talked about last week? They’re gone, following a two-day move in interest rates that should have taken two years. And third, you’ve heard the phrase “Go big or go home,” right? Well, that applies to the moves we’ve made in all managed accounts to minimize our clients’ exposure to FDIC-Insured bank deposits.
