An interesting observation from Victor Niederhoffer - everyone including me is counting on bond rally when stocks tank, and vice versa, but, according to his statistics, the anticorrelation thing happened about 50% of the time. So, shorting the bond is actually not the same thing as being long spoos - they both can go into the black hole together. -ggg- Yes, I know this, and I've seen that happen when both bonds and stocks rally and when both fall, it depends on the specifics of the economic landscape at the time... they can definitely go their separate ways or move in lock step, they're definitely two separate creatures...<g> GZ
