It is a money-making opportunity. But the amount of money you can make without extreme leverage is low.
You think? Think again.
The 7-10 year Treasuries funds soared 11% since mid-Oct. The 20+ year funds soared 18% since mid-Nov. They can all fall just as fast.
ProShares Ultrashort 20-year ETF crashed 43% since mid-June (1/3 of that was in the last 30 days!) The Ultrashort 7-10 treasury ETF fell 25% in a similar period.
Those 2X short treasury ETF’s can rise just as fast. They will. The tricky question is WHEN.
I’m reading Ben Bernanke’s old speeches now, and they imply a lot more Fed intervention (to lower US Treasury yields) could be headed our way.

So How much of this Infrastructure spending gets done in SD and surrounds, and how will this effect the real estate market in the SD area (not because of Job Creation but because of infrastructure improvement) ???,
Any thoughts guy’s ???
