https://sr-sv.com/the-relation-between-value-and-momentum-strategies/Simple value and momentum strategies often end up with opposite market positions. One strategy succeeds when the other fails. There are two plausible reasons for this. First, value investors regularly bet against market trends that appear to ‘have gone too far’ by standard valuation metrics. Second, value stocks carry particularly high market risk or ‘bad beta’ and thus fare well when market risk premia are high and the market turns for the better. This typically coincides with ‘momentum crashes’ in oversold markets. As a consequence, value and momentum signals may be complementary. In particular, value strategies are not very profitable in normal times or bull markets but have produced extraordinary profits when being set up in the mature state of a bear market. Similarly, momentum signals can be adjusted by extreme valuation metrics alongside signs of trend exhaustion.

Mid-band spectrum, such as the C-band, is considered important for 5G deployments because it offers both geographic coverage and the capacity to transmit large amounts of data. This combination is especially appealing to wireless giants who have been trying to fill out their spectrum portfolios.
Rates can go up even if the Fed isn't actively raising them. Rates will go up if the bonds don't sell.@WABAC - have you sold all of your bond funds on the expectation of a rise in rates? I'm just trying to understand why anyone would do this while those who control the rates indicate no interest or reason for doing so at this time. I read the articles and I've listened to all the chatter and I just don't see what indications are pointing to a need for disposing bond funds.
I don't particularly like bond funds. So rather than watch some remarkable gains -- for bonds -- evaporate, I decided to sell. When I'm ahead 8% on a TIPs index fund it's no fun for me to watch the drip, drip, drip. And so on with the other funds, even if the returns were smaller.The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield topped the 1.49% level on Thursday morning, its highest level in more than a year. . .
. . . The move higher in rates is unnerving investors fearing inflation could be driving it instead of just the economy recovering. The 10-year yield ended January at 1.09%. It closed 2020 well under 1%. So it’s moved more than a half percentage point in under two months, quite rapid for the bond market and relative to rates at these historically low levels.

In the meeting Munger delivered plenty of more burns and digs at cryptocurrency, investment bankers (“they’ll sell shit as long as shit can be sold”) as well as brokers like Robinhood (“dirty way to make money”).
