2 schools of thought: Consensus: Like you say, T-Bonds are the world's safe haven during the crises. This has been true for the past year, and continues to be. Contrarian: Asians (particularly Japanese) begin to repatriate their holdings of T-Bonds to cover local losses. If Japan were to intiate true reforms and revive their economy, all the capital that has fled that country might finally come back home. Also, the new Eurodollar displaces the U.S. Dollar somewhat as the world's reserve currency, again driving down T-Bonds. Tom
