illiquidity in bonds would drive up interest rates toward 6% in six days meanwhile, the Fed has succeeded in maintaining calm and stability in the bond market 10yr TNote is around 4.9%... 30yr TBond is around 5.3%... stable
can you imagine if buyers pulled out of bonds without the Fed to show up with billion$ to buy ??? that happened in 1929 stocks went down 80% interest rates went up to 25% it could happen
now that the Dow and the invested graybeards are getting whacked, with aging wrinkled peepees on the trading floor, we might see some real pressure from the wealthy who felt protected and smug that only tech trading addicts and zit-faced moron dotcom investors were being handed their heads
dont be too impressed by the Dow drops yday and today big deal 2% per day each day that is like the NazComp dropping 50 pts yday and today when at 2500, going to 2400 the big drop for DowDogs is coming soon let a little short cover rally show itself, back to 9800 then short the living graybeard viagra soaked piss out of the SPX basket
