Duration of 25 means if ~30 yield treasury yields go from 3.8% to 1.8%, this ETF would be up >50%

I anticipate that in the near future there might be more significant bankruptcies and hence a panic in the stock market, and EDV will rise in that case. But, if the Fed raises interest rates from the current 5% to 20% like in the 1980s, $5000 in EDV will become $64. That’s why I wanna hold in EDV less than 1% of my portfolio, and will hold it for ~3 years to see what happens.
