Why is the dollar getting weaker vs euro? I'm hedged in US treasury bonds as an eurofag and I keep losing money because the USD is getting weaker. What gives, I thought hedging some of my money in dollar would be smart but doesn't seem like it.

KEK, this is where you fucked up. Not sure of the states but the BoE has bought up 25% of all UK bonds. If someone comes along with 'money' that future generations gave them to buy up a quarter of the market, you can't expect them to look for the best returns.

Also, as you appear to know, bonds are generally considered 'secure' investments, therefore if money can't be made off these 'secure' investments, money from other sources has go to the stock market or other 'assets'.

You didn't hedge shit, you just bet that the system will be fine. the best hedge is BTC

Anon, you could’ve bought QQQ and the rip would’ve been YUUUGE

Look at 2019 QQQ performance in Euro terms

These are the years of living dangerously

When you retire to Barcelona, then you buy bonds. But not before you retire to Barcelona or Lisbon!

Seems like I'm selling my shit when the market opens again in two days. Fuck bonds, I will buy more gold with some of the money if it dips a bit. I already have 50g of gold and 80 oz silver accumulated in the spring this year.

boost from china trade deal. china stronk and yuropoor gets rainbow monies that spill over. The dollar hedge works only if you are a country where your sovereign debt is mostly denominated in greenbacks.

Yeah you're meaning USD is getting a boost from the trade deal? I think that's going to happen as well. I'll give it a few months I'm in no hurry yet.
