Hi Bonnie Bear; Was the subject a severe bear market only
happening as a result of the Fed raising interest rates to 12-
14%?

But in '29-'32, we managed to get a pretty strong bear
market correction (modern investors would call it a bull
market correction, since they don't believe in bear markets),
and I don't think we saw (federal debt) interest rates
rise. I think, in fact, they declined.

On the other hand, company bonds did drop some. (Flight
to quality.)

This week's Barrons was about as bearish as they get.
Usually I try to fade their tilt. The problem is that I always
agree with them.
