$TLT - Bond volatility low and ripe

Now that Fed chiefs are selling their stocks near all time highs they can now start tapering quantitative easing and we could see bond market volatility pick up from current depressed levels.. 20 Year Treasury Bond ETF TLT has a 52wk IVR of 3.47% and another way to insulate your long term portfolio from more volatility is to buy a straddle on bond volatility.. we’re looking at the NOV’19 ATM $148 straddle for a debit of $6.63.. and close for 50% profit or loss of premium, whichever comes first..
