Hi chartman, That's a BIG QUESTION MARK! It could be a lot of noise and not result in much. I think the real story on that will be those who hold Tresuries and Mortgage backed securities - who do not want to hold til maturity. I do not have any fixed income positions. I think the larceny that is being planned will coma about a widening bid ask spread from the banks. I think the rate changes will in a long term view be modest - with more than expected volatility with in a range. If you want out on a day with yields jumping up, the banks will take a cut on the higher spread. They've learned to feed the high frequency scalpers on stocks and will consider the same approach with "in house" to bonds - the automation of fixed income so to speak = banks profits in a huge market. Just look at how long the bond bull has run - add a little fear and you've got: " cut my losses I want out". I do not even want to think how a 30 year treasury's value will be as the slow draining of MBS and treasuries relentlessly increases over the years! If we think"lower for longer" applied to oil - just think what the fed will do to fixed income prices? It will make the oil market look like a fast cycle market! Scary and very glad I'm not in it. A completely manipulated market by central banks. ERGGG Bob
