MEBISODE: T-Bills and Chill…Most of the Time | #529

E528 • Apr 11, 2024 • 15 mins

In today’s episode, Meb reads a white paper, “T-Bills and Chill…Most of the Time.”

Key Points

  • Investors currently have the opportunity to earn yield with short-term treasuries at 5% and long-term treasuries around 4%, a significant change from the days of 0% or negative yielding bonds.
  • Implementing a tactical approach to fixed income investing based on the evaluation of yield spreads across various sectors can potentially offer higher returns than a simple buy-and-hold strategy, with lower volatility and drawdowns.
  • The current market conditions as of February 2024 suggest a strategy of "T-Bills and chill," where investors may prefer the safety of treasury bills until yield spreads indicate more favorable opportunities for taking on additional risk.
