Sure looks to me like things are coming unglued. I just hope my positions don't get frozen in some kind of general implosion--though I guess situations like that have always got partially resolved within a few days over the last 200 years. But if foreigners really pull our of the dollar and out of US bonds in a hurry, it will make things pretty weird for a while. Meantime, BEARX is up another 3.58% on the day.

KT- anyone who happens to be interested; These are the old school UTE based, exchange traded, AAA Insured bonds I managed to identify. Not suggesting them- I have no idea what the future holds. Just putting them out there to save some research time for anyone who might be interested. One thing I've noted, is they don't seem to reflect daily swings in TNX- they seem to be 'illiquid' in that respect. The yields rival that of the CEF preferreds, without the tax advantage aspect. Since I put them in a roth, I don't care no tax advantage. <g> I hope my roth don't hate me in the am.
