Interesting. I didn't know they gobbled up so many more mortgage backed securities during Covid.

Yeah I saw that a while ago which was probably why the graph and your mention of subprime crisis triggered me. They almost doubled MBS at peak!

Looks like the curve they're selling at is leveling out soon, and the chances they get to pre-2020 levels are slim.

No, that's not very likely. More likely, they're clearing up space for the next round of big stupid bailouts.

That's what I think too. Which is good for my sats I guess, but I do hate being selfish like that.
Got 2 people orange pilled during my vacay last week... it's not enough.

From a saver’s angle, the signal is simple: if the supposedly risk-free asset now demands 5%, the opportunity cost of sitting in cash is basically gone... Slow & steady, self-custodied sats stacking still feels like the least-stress “bond insurance” out there. Not financial advice.
