Hi David, my only concern with keeping cash is what if Dec-21 Fed minutes turns out to be a head fake like Dec-18, when Fed plot was showing 3 rate hikes in 2019 and the central bank ended up delivering 3 rate cuts + QE. Agreed that inflation is now a lot higher compare to 2018-19, but the US economy is a lot more leveraged. I think 3-4 rate hikes with balance sheet runoff in 2022 is just a pipe dream.
(1)From Equity/Bond/Cash 45%/25%/30% portfolio position, you underweight Equity/Bond to the lower end of your rules. Can we say the real reason behind is because you see real yield has more room to go within 3 months?
(2)If you see there might be 75 bps for 10 year real yield, does it mean 10 year yield will go to 2.25-2.5% if we fix inflation numbers.
(3)In addition, how to roughly get 75 bps as reference and why it might come so soon?
25% stocks, 25% bonds, 25% gold, 25% cash with an unlimited rebalancing. Historically it's generated returns a little lower than the 60/40 portfolio without the big drawdowns. I could also ask if you would substitute a portion of cash in your new portfolio with gold.

John, The repricing in real rates and other markets will happen over less than 3 months. I wouldn’t want to be long gold during the repricing. After the repricing, we can talk again but I don’t want to dilute the message by jumping ahead

So will 25% in TBT and the Shaken, not stirred NFT do the job for my bond portfolio?

Dear David,

Great thanks
That should say annual rebalancing.
