re: NAZ selloff... Hi Rande, Great thread. The selloff might be influenced by hedge funds, especially those that are used by the bond markets. These same funds supposedly drove the dow back up when the bond hit some threshold, I think %6 a few weeks ago. Bond market used to hedge in bonds, but too many got burned earlier in the year when the fed didn't auction as planned. So, now some bonds use the equity markets as a hedge... not exactly predictable, but I guess more predictable than some bonds in some situations. From what I understand, the bond markets absolutely and overwhelming dwarf the equity markets because of all the world governements banks and financial institutions using it to hedge their holdings, let alone make any money. I am still trying to understand bonds and their relationship to equities. It seems like an invisible player that is driving the volatility over the past 4 months and is little mentioned in the mainstream press. What do you think? Just my opinion. Jon :)
