I'm curious that there is so much confidence in corporate bonds. I think that the perception of risk is genuinely understated there even though there is less tech there. I wonder if the ratings companies like Moody's, S&P, etc. are having a hard time keeping up with the bond rating process with such a sharp shift in economic conditions ? biz.yahoo.com Thursday March 29, 10:14 am Eastern Time US Corp Bonds - Spreads tighter despite profit fears BigMoney: You stated it exactly correct. And because Americans have less equity in their homes than ever before, they base most of the net asset value on skyrocketing real estate value. When RE drops there will be NO financial cushion to hold on to except maybe T-bonds.
