Doubt I would want to trade it either ... blows me away how "managed" the media is. Its not supposed to be like that in a Democracy. They're supposed to be a bunch of unruly jackals - not the puppies they have become begging for their next treat. Regarding you're short bond trade - which is one I'm watching with interest - and perhaps an important side observation. Have noticed that the 0 % credit card offers I used to be flooded with seem to be waning. Now, I'm noticing that 2 to 5 % offers seem to be more common - despite the Fed's proclamation that long term rates will be held down for the next two years. Could this mean that the banksters have already been tipped that the Fed is really getting ready to start letting rates drift higher? Bonds are THE MOST manipulated market - personally wouldn't touch them with a 100 foot pole - but only because I've been burned too many times in the past on the short side. They have no business being where they are in the 140's - but based on the same irrational logic that brought them where they are today - could easily move to the 160's. Reasonably confident the Fed is setting up for a currency devaluation though its likely a year or more away ... bonds will certainly dump overnight when that occurs. But will likely trend opposite in the months leading up to it ....
