Bonds will tank when there is economic weakness, not when there is economic strength. GST, You have it backwards. When there is economic weakness, investors head for safety and bonds go up. Returns -- that's interest rates -- go down.

"Dependence on foreign borrowing has turned the world upside down. The threat to bonds comes from any sign that the recycling game is at an end and that the debt expansion cannot be financed. Insane as it might seem, bonds now fear a slowing economy more than they fear an overheated economy."
