i am aware of the inverse relationship between interest rates and bond prices. as is anybody who watches CNBC. i have average maturities of about 4.25 yrs. i seriously doubt rates will rise enough in this time frame to cause me trouble, compared to what a serious rate rise would do to the equity market. besides, i think the last thing the CBs want in this moribund recovery is to get hawkish on rates. employment growth still nonexistent. read the Hoisington archives. over this time frame, standard deviation of currency crosses has a much bigger impact.
