Jay, what amazed me about bonds was when I found out on maturity you get the full 100% back even though short term you might be 50% under. as a small timer you may as well wait and buy that loaf of bread with the entire 100%<G> I'm not sure if last wk was considered a bond crash but as far as I'm concerned if it continues the fed will be forced to raise rates. I'm also amzazed that they were able to hold rates this long so this means to me that the world economy is so bad that no other country can offer incentive to move money out of the USA.(in booming china cant one get good rates?) maybe this is changing Now...I'm thinking... dangerous!... I guess gold bottoms approaching summer.... but even though there's been selling on the recent move up.. maybe this bond dumping is the real signal to get in bigtime.
