Vi,

You may be right,but I can't help but believe if I was holding current bonds and looking to replace them I wouldn't. I'd just sell them. The $ from a bond perspective appears to be ok because its probably Am $s buying into a safe haven. The $ is going down in relation to most currencies. These bonds will go down in value and interest rates will go up no matter what the FED does on short term rates. The question is whether or not those $s will be reinvested in Am equities. I know the rest of the world (those that hold our $s) have no interest in seeing the Am system fall apart and are willing to help some what. However, at some point they have to think about their own a$$. Not saying we won't get some decent bounce, but from what I observe, we have just gotten too cute and the amount of inflation we are about to see in the next couple of years will not be good for Am mkts or our system---Peaceb2u
