I think it's fair to say that only a very, very small segment of the population accept a bond crash in this sequence as even a possibility here, and therefore it would/could/might/will catch most everybody by surprise, thereby wreaking the greatest carnage possible on as wide a swath as possible, like all bear markets like to do And there's nothing like a whiff of non-repayment to send bond prices packing on the first southbound train. I wouldn't be holding any long maturities of anything right now, no matter how much lipstick the pigs have on -- this is about capital preservation now, and yields suck anyway
