There are 10,000 baby boomers retiring every day and selling off their shares into bonds,
Nah.

If they are buying so many bonds why have bond prices been falling?

So you believe when someone retires he sells all of his stocks and buys bonds yielding less than 3%/year?

Again, nah.

Yes, 10,000 people retire daily. Look it up.

I also didn’t say someone sells all of their stocks. However, allocating their money out of stocks or equity funds ( no question) is happening every day.

This is pure economics.

Do you have a link to verify your claim or is it just your opinion?

Until you prove otherwise it's speculation.

In fact, this article shows stock ownership among Americans aged 65 and over has increased since the end of the Great Recession while it has decreased among age groups under age 65.

Self- Direct It, Learns Inverse ETF’s, Puts/Calls, Cash, etc...Those are the main risk mitigation strategies. Why lose money when you can protect yourself with Risk Management.


Sometimes cash is king and simpler is almost always the right choice. Inverse ETFs and Options are not a core risk mitigation strategy that most investors should be using.

You’re disconnected from reality and you really don’t sound like someone who should be spewing market doomsday scenarios... but you’ll do that anyways.

Agreed Russian. We are now in a rising interest rate environment now. There are few worse places to have money than bonds.

Eta: Also, bond fund holders will get slaughtered as they will lose principle. If one just has to buy bonds at least buy government bonds.
