I do understand the relationship between price and yields.... I think I'm probably just thinking too simplisticly about the role of bonds in the financial world. I'm not making the connection between higher yields and stock prices. I do know that the higher yields will attract some money looking for a safe haven - but is the effect so great that it could cause a significant drop in stock prices? Thanks again...as you can tell my understanding of the bond market is limited at best!
