This is reflected in the chart of iShares 20 Plus Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:TLT). The Arora Report had advised its members to buy leveraged inverse ProShares UltraShort 20+ Year Treasury (NYSE:TBT), which has been highly profitable. Chinese bonds have recently been decimated and the yuan has been weakening against the dollar. Applied Materials, Inc.
