how can bonds make new highs when the yield is falling? can you explain this? could never figure that out since the lower the yield the less money you get interest wise

**CHARTS UPDATED** WHY you may ask? My scenario, presented here last week, was almost 100%. Almost 100% wrong! So what am I looking at this week? Bonds continued making new highs. The Dollar got whacked on Friday. (Yeltsin's speech calmed some German nerves and the D-Mark had a huge rally. Will it Last?) The Summation index continued its decline (?) but remember this is a LAGGING Indicator. The VIX told it all this week. And then there's the unloved Russell 2000. Interesting side note here. Actually 2. 1. It took almost 4 years for this index to move from its 1994 low to the 1998 high. AND it only took 4 months for this index to retrace 50% of its advance. There's a message there somewhere. Perhaps Greed vs. Fear? The fear factor is most dominant. 2. I have access to some historical data. It recently showed that 79% of all mutual funds own NO small cap stocks. I think this is something to hang one's hat on for the future. Undoubtedly there must be some value here. Enough for this week. (more than enough)! All have a better week. Claud pw1.netcom.com
