Global Affairs Correspondent For Axios Barak Ravid Posts on X"Israeli official tells me Iran launched 6 missiles towards U.S. bases in Qatar"

U.S. bonds are on track to log ten straight six-month periods of underperformance relative to stocks, a record-breaking stretch of underperformance since 2020 that&#8217;s rippling through markets and shaking <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/stories-that-matter">up traditional investor portfolios.</a>
The streak spans five years and reflects a regime shift in global markets—one driven by rising interest rates, an overstretched fiscal backdrop, and a tech-driven equity boom.
Yet with geopolitical tensions escalating in Iran, some may wonder whether the prolonged cycle of bond underperformance compared to stocks might finally turn.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Why Have Bonds Struggled?</h3>
It all started with the 2020 pandemic recovery, when a "risk-on" mood emerged.
As stimulus measures boosted economic growth, investors fled safe-haven Treasuries and flocked to risk-on assets like equities.
The real damage accelerated in 2022, when the Federal Reserve launched its most aggressive rate-hiking cycle in decades. Bond prices collapsed as yields surged, marking the end of a four-decade bull run fueled by low inflation and near-zero interest rates since the 2008 financial crisis.
Even in the first half of 2022, as the S&amp;P 500 plunged 20.5%, long-duration Treasuries fell even harder—down 22.5%—highlighting how vulnerable bonds had become in a rising-rate environment.
The contrast grew starker in 2023 and 2024, when stocks entered a blistering bull market—posting back-to-back annual gains of 24% and 23%, the strongest two-year stretch since 1998. Bonds, meanwhile, remained under pressure as yields stayed elevated.
Behind the scenes, U.S. fiscal conditions worsened. Since the pandemic, the federal deficit has hovered near 6%-7% of GDP, far above historical norms. In 2025, credit rating agency Moody's stripped the U.S. of its last AAA rating, citing runaway spending and debt accumulation. Yields on 30-year Treasury bonds escalated at or near 5%. 
Adding fuel to the fire, President Donald Trump's sweeping fiscal package has pushed long-term projections deeper into the red. According to the Congressional Budget Office, the bill is expected to add $2.6 trillion to the deficit over the next decade.
Together, these forces have created a toxic mix for bonds: rising rates, sticky inflation, surging deficits and a loss of investor confidence in U.S. fiscal sustainability.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Will War Shift The Bond-Stock Balance?</h3>
With geopolitical risk surging after the U.S. struck Iran's nuclear facility on June 21, investors are asking a key question: Could a major war or energy crisis finally reverse bonds' historic underperformance versus equities?
According to Mark Cabana, rates strategist at Bank of America, the relationship between conflict and Treasury yields isn't straightforward. 
"UST yields often don&#8217;t decline with higher geopolitical risks, especially if oil prices are rising," he said in a note shared Monday.
The critical factor, Cabana added, is whether the event materially damages the U.S. economy. 
"Our analysis of prior geopolitical events suggests an inconsistent response of USTs; we conclude that USTs often do not rally amidst geopolitical tensions and the directional move correlates with oil prices."
Bank of America's historical study, which includes major geopolitical flashpoints from the 1990 Iraqi invasion of Kuwait onward, found that Treasury yields actually rose about half the time in the month following such events. 
Often, these periods were accompanied by oil price spikes, which fueled inflation concerns and pushed yields higher—not lower.
Put simply, the bond market doesn't behave like a risk-off hedge when oil is surging.
That's why even a significant military escalation in the Middle East may not be enough to snap the bond market's underperformance streak versus equities.

Shares of airline stocks are trading lower on uncertain travel demand outlook following US strikes on Iran. Qatar has closed airspace amid tensions.

For us long-term investors, we may find ourselves having to sell some stocks during a market drawdown.
It's an unpleasant thought I've had since early April, when the S&amp;P 500&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/p/bear-markets-in-context">fell by around 20%</a>&nbsp;from its Feb. 19 all-time high.
But does it always make sense to think of a 20% decline in your stock portfolio as a loss?
<figure class="wp-block-image"><a href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!REku!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7b842e8d-167d-4d70-9ddd-2406a287b164_932x453.png" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img decoding="async" src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!REku!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7b842e8d-167d-4d70-9ddd-2406a287b164_932x453.png" alt="" /></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">2025 has been rough. (Source: Yahoo Finance)</figcaption></figure>
A common answer is that it's not a loss until you sell. This is the distinction between a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/04/021204.asp">realized loss and an unrealized loss</a>.
But even if you sell during a bear market, do you really lose 20%?
For many long-term investors, there's a case to be made that the answer is&nbsp;no.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Reframing how we think about market drawdowns &#x1f914;</h2>
At its April 7 intraday bottom, the S&amp;P 500 reached a low of 4,835.04. This was the lowest level since Jan. 19, 2024.
In the context of my personal stock portfolio, which almost totally consists of purchases of S&amp;P 500 index funds, I made three observations at the time:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>All of my trades since January 2024 were in the red.</li>
<li>All of my trades from 2005, when I opened my first 401(k) account, through 2023 were profitable.</li>
<li>I put much more money to work from 2005 to 2023 than I did from 2024 to 2025.</li>
</ul>
To help understand this, see the chart below of the S&amp;P 500 since 2005. The dotted line demarcates the S&amp;P's April low of 4,835.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><a href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ypvV!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F77432f10-8196-45c9-bcda-f664813ec82e_938x440.png" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img decoding="async" src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ypvV!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F77432f10-8196-45c9-bcda-f664813ec82e_938x440.png" alt="" /></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">The stock market has mostly performed very well since 2005. (Source: Yahoo Finance)</figcaption></figure>
Over 95% of the contributions I've made to my retirement accounts occurred when the stock market was much lower than the April 2025 low.
This means I still earned a substantial positive return investing in the stock market throughout my adult life. Even the purchases I made near market peaks before the global financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic were significantly profitable trades.
This is a roundabout way of saying that I'm thinking more about my&nbsp;<a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/costbasis.asp">cost basis</a>. Since I made most of my purchases when the stock market was much lower than where it's trading today, my average cost basis is very low.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">This doesn't actually change anything, Sam &#x1f928;</h2>
To be clear, reframing how you think about the performance of your investments does not change the actual performance of your investments.
Sure, I'm still very much in the money. But there's also no denying that at the April 7 low, the value of my portfolio was still down about 20% from its peak.
If you are a stone-cold, totally rational investor, then this discussion was perhaps a waste of time. But I think most of us benefit from some perspective when faced with jarring drops in our portfolios.
For me, thinking about how much I'm up relative to my cost basis has been much more positive on my mental health than thinking about how much I'm down from the market's peak.
<a href="https://www.tker.co/p/stock-market-down-days-drawdowns-down-years-normal">Investing in the stock market is an unpleasant process</a>. We do what we can to cope with the tougher times.

A woman named Shelby recently called into &#8220;<a href="https://x.com/DaveRamsey/status/1934976756601049591">The Ramsey Show</a>&#8221; seeking clarity on a gut feeling she could no longer ignore: was her new boyfriend trying to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45491348/her-husband-lost-270k-in-a-crypto-scam-and-lied-about-itdave-ramseys-advice-pulled-no-punches">scam her with crypto</a>?
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Pressuring Her To Cash Out Her 401(k)</h2>
Shelby told hosts Dave Ramsey and Jade Warshaw that she had been talking to a man for about a month. He claimed to have a lot more money than her and pushed her to cash out her 401(k) to fund a crypto investment. &#8220;He said he has this plan he&#8217;s been working on for about three years,&#8221; she said, and claimed she would get &#8220;90% back.&#8221; But when she expressed hesitation, he accused her of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44852424/you-could-literally-cost-yourself-millions-finance-expert-warns-against-panic-decision-on-trump-tariffs">making poor financial decisions</a>.

</ul>
Ramsey immediately flagged the situation. &#8220;It sounds like he&#8217;s really manipulating you here,&#8221; he said. Warshaw agreed, noting how emotional and pressured Shelby felt. &#8220;When something doesn&#8217;t feel right, it&#8217;s not right,&#8221; she told her.
Ramsey was straightforward: &#8220;You know why it smells bad? Because it stinks.&#8221;
Shelby admitted she had recently gotten out of a toxic relationship and had been hoping this new one would be different.&nbsp;
Ramsey didn't hesitate after that. &#8220;I&#8217;m not sure if he&#8217;s an idiot or a con man, but I am sure he&#8217;s one of the two,&#8221; he told her. &#8220;And my friend Shelby, who I love, doesn&#8217;t need to be dating a guy who&#8217;s an idiot or a con man. You&#8217;re done.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Then The Bombshell: They&#8217;ve Never Met In Person</h2>
The call took a sharp turn when Warshaw asked whether Shelby had actually met the man in real life. &#8220;Oh, um, well, it&#8217;s mostly online. I&#8217;ve been trying to meet him in person,&#8221; Shelby said.
Ramsey cut in: &#8220;You&#8217;ve never met him in person? Can you spell catfish? Does that all sound right to you? Or did you think we were going to tell you something else?&#8221; And Warshaw added, &#8220;That's the con man part.&#8221;
Warshaw reminded Shelby that she had called in for a reason. &#8220;I&#8217;m just agreeing with what your brain was already telling you,&#8221; she said.
Ramsey&#8217;s final word: &#8220;You deserve some love. This guy needs to be set straight, not you.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Dave Ramsey Thinks About Bitcoin</h2>
Ramsey has made his opinion on Bitcoin clear in past episodes. When asked last year if it should be treated like single stocks, he flat-out rejected the idea. "Bitcoin is a currency," he <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRUF0zOaZm0">said</a>.
He argued that Bitcoin has no intrinsic value and is backed only by perception and hype—a view shared by other prominent critics like economist <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40818582/gold-bull-peter-schiff-claims-bitcoin-lacks-intrinsic-value-and-is-destined-to-fail">Peter Schiff</a> and JPMorgan Chase&nbsp; CEO <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/42940832/jamie-dimon-says-hes-not-against-blockchains-but-trades-guns-on-bitcoin-again-it-has-no-intrinsic-value-i-just-dont-feel-great-about">Jamie Dimon</a>.
&nbsp;"Currencies have no value except for their track record that indicates that two people are willing to fight over them," Ramsey said. He also pointed out that even Warren Buffett <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/25/01/43073354/warren-buffett-openly-called-bitcoin-a-rat-poison-in-2018-7-years-later-he-is-invested-in-this-crypto-linked-stock-which-soared-27-in-2024">won't invest in Bitcoin</a>. "If he doubled the amount he had put in Bitcoin, he would still have zero," Ramsey said, quoting Buffett.
He compared crypto to other speculative fads that come and go, calling Bitcoin "smoke and mirrors." Until it shows long-term stability and credibility, he doesn't consider it a serious financial asset.
