Well, yes. And it (shorting treasuries) will continue to be a money loser on balance, until it isn't. What could force that to change? Well, the G-20, among others.....

In any event, the equity shorts got weakness "covered". And gold has got the money drop covered. The other stuff is just a mad money trade......that somewhat hedges the short positions.
