Author presents a 2026 GARP portfolio and advances an explicit recession-hedge thesis for TLT.

TLT — LONG The author argues TLT is a great hedge because rates are relatively high and the labor market is softening; if a standard recessionary bear market occurs, inflation and rates will fall and TLT will rise 20-30% while stocks crash. The author also notes the hedge has positive expected returns, limiting performance drag.

I think TLT is a great and easy hedge at the moment. Rates are relatively high, and the labor market is softening. If we get a standard recessionary bear market, inflation and rates will come down and TLT will rise ~20-30% while stocks are crashing.
