Two things:

1. Why is this animated? I don’t see that adding any value.

2. Why does every x-axis label call the data out as 2022? You already did that in the title.

Thanks for the feedback.

I would like to see this with a more intermediate bond index fund like AGG or BND. Very few investors would consider TLT - which is US Treasuries with maturities of 20+ years - to be a suitable proxy for "bond funds."

Fair enough, here's the chart with AGG and BND https://imgur.com/3nuf9P9

Looping just as it gets to the end (idk if the OP did that or reddit does that) makes it impossible to actually analyze

Not very interesting or convincing without showing some of the previous years with inverse correlation.

That's like saying "Most Mongolian pears (imaginary fruit) are red but this one is yellow, and then only showing a yellow one."

The title couldn’t be more boring but the data actually represents something really interesting

The looping is really annoying. I turned loop off so I think it's Reddit doing it.

probably because all of them loop here it seems

I think it's showing that your bonds aren't safer.

I read a lot of unappreciative comments around here. I just wanted to let you know this is great and thank you for sharing. Continue to improve upon constructive feedback :)

That's very nice, thankyou!

damn you people are critical

My theory: People who look at data graphs on Reddit are often on the spectrum for OCD / autism and nuanced diplomacy is not our strong suit. Some people’s brains are just trained to find the flaws in everything.

I just found you can stop the loop by right clicking on the chart then untick 'loop'!

Very rare to see posts here that aren't mostly greeted by critical comments. The sub should be called "RoastMyPlot", IMO!

Why animate it…

Cool to see that you’re open to feedback. I’d also have more years to add data to your juxtaposition

Nice amateur psychology you got going on there or hear me out.

People who subscribe to a subreddit that is about displaying data in a beautiful are passionate about it because it is part of their job/hobby and are critical because this isn’t just r/data

So if stocks are falling, so are bonds, despite the inverse correlation? Hmmmmmm

There's nothing very confusing happening here. The Fed wants to destroy wealth to reduce inflation via the wealth effect. To that end they are raising rates and selling bonds. The graph you see is exactly as planned.

Regardless of whether or not that's true having a mental illness isn't an excuse to be a jerk.

Everything floats loops down here

typically fed is lowering rates to offset a recession.

This year we get recession with rising rates.

autoloop is OK for other meme subs, but not so much for DIB
