Corey Hoffstein: Path dependency raises risk in t-bill investments
Path dependency risk in t-bills

Corey Hoffstein discusses the perceived safety of U.S. Treasury bills, or t-bills, and raises concern about their extreme path dependency risk. While acknowledging their reputation for being nearly risk-free, Hoffstein suggests that risks can emerge when considering the broader investment journey.

He references another commentator's support for the view and proposes that, at minimum, investors might consider diversifying with a ladder of Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPs) to address potential risks.

Hoffstein has previously discussed structural challenges for smaller investors, citing how a $100 minimum per ETF trade discourages smaller transactions. In separate commentary, other market watchers have highlighted milestones at major companies, such as Intel reaching a new all-time high in its stock after 26 years. These viewpoints reflect ongoing scrutiny of both market instruments and regulatory hurdles facing investors.
