what about some possible reinforcement if there were some capital flight? Does your expecation of between 7% - 8% include some of that or do you think that comes later -- after deflation is undeniable?

Ideas about the selloff today in the last few minutes? Blip or something that may continue tomorrow ...

heinz, >> i believe your yield targets are a tad too pessimistic. imo should yields hit 7% - 8%

Thanks for your input. I have no idea what the system could bear. I lived through the last inflation period in this country and when it got started it fed on itself. I am collecting long bonds to use as my play on high quality non callable bonds. I am collecting these using MB's strategy with the exception I am collecting them in 1/10ths instead of thirds, and trying to figure out what the possible top is important to this strategy. <g>
