And try a bond ladder: https://firechecklis...an-asset-class/

It is hard for the bond to go up a lot.  short the tlt call spreads ?

I’ve played that before but not this time. Short duration bonds will suffer due to rate increases as well as LIBOR increasing gradually which is an alarming sign. Long term treasuries are underowned at present. The best way to invest at this juncture is via laddering which I alluded to in my blog posting.
I’ve offered CD’s, in 3-mo. intervals and each reinvestment ebery 3 months for the past year; I’ve been rewarded by locking in higher and higher rates on them. As for bonds I like the I-shares muni ETF’s which can be laddered and in a tax deferred IRA the Guggenheim corporate ETF’s are great for ladderBig.
