Mike:

You kind of reinforced my thinking but now I need advice. Whats the best way for me (read dont have 100k to short bonds) to play this disaster. My personal opinion is that this is one of those layup areas. A doubling of yield (which by the way) is not that much would trash these prices. thanks

I think Japanese bonds are a great short I remember a now retired wall street strategist who favored that strategy and the JGB's had a few hundred basis points lower to go in yield after that.

What was the name of the Wall street Bear who retired a year or two ago. I want to say Myers....or? Michael ...someone Help!
