Selling 1/2 of TLT @ $138.80 Realized loss of $7.75 (5.29%) 5% position remains Selling 1/2 of EDV @ $128.55 Realized loss of $0.00 (0.00%) 5% position remains I've been "wrong" on this idea and doubled down with EDV after TLT was smoked. I'll take the recent rally as an opportunity to avoid the large loss I was bearing. I still think I could be "right", but don't have the confidence given the turmoil in the world. I'm now 10% long of Treasuries vs. 10% short of Junk Bonds. A bet that credit spreads will continue to grow. This is a much more palatable position given where things stand today. It's ok to take losses and be wrong - just be flexible and know it's ok to cut bait.
