Bonds cushioning stocks is one of those "truths" that there's a lot more nuance to... 70/30 portfolio didn't do so well in 2022.
“Global stock markets Tumble” What globe are they referring to? I guess when stocks go up everyday for 6 months any red day is a “tumble”.
Down 1% is the new bear market. Reminds me of the threads on here in 2009 where the PPT would be summoned if there was a down 10 handle day on the ES.
%% Circle the globe 7 or 8 times, may find some.SH did downtick, a bit \ no tumble yet. Dont know why any would want to sell their gov bonds, worked so well for SVB.[sarcasm] But I can see the logic of buying + selling bonds[exclude inflation + opportunity costs]; bonds tend to have smaller losses. Takes all kinds to make a market; some may trade better than SVB
