Ken, think of the bond issue the following - average debt market lost around 15% within 6 weeks. Outstanding US debt is about $35 trillion Government debt is around $6.5 trillion Even if every one was hedged against the $30 or so of no - governments bonds the losses are huge at least $2 to $3 trillion IMHO,or about 25% of our GDP even that some junk bonds rose or were steady. As a comparison I think the US equity markets have a capitalization of $7 to $8 trillion. How would you mange your finances if 25% of your yearly income was taken away from you ? As to signs of recovery the thieves and swindlers are pointing to the wrong indicators. Commodity prices rise because of Asia (India China etc.) not US recovery and the 9% annualized MZM growth is debasing the USD and not spurring more manufacturing activity within the US, but abroad like Pakistan, India or China, for US consumption. Most economist use not updated models for a global economy to predict a US recovery
