I understand that Tom trades the bond as well. Here's my scenario. Weakness in the broad market sends cash to the bond so we buy the bond on weakness and sell on strength (What a concept!) So tomorrow, I may just do this for real. I hate the idea of positioning a market I do not know, but I'll bet if we can get the bond near/at the lows of today we have an opportunity to get many points on the upside during a market failure. This is a very tempting thing, Leland. Buying US Bonds as a protective device to guard against a failure of the U.S. Equities Market seems pretty safe. There has to be a way to make money here, and you and I have to capitalize on it.
