Oh Henry, You opened yourself up with this one: Personally I suspect the equity markets are due for one more thrashing before a real buying opportunity develops. But keep in mind I am much better timing bond markets than equity markets ;) So where do you think the bond market is going? Where do you stand on the inflation/deflation debate? And one more question; if the Fed does lower rates, what will that do to bonds? I am especially intrigued by this last question because the easy answer is to say that Fed easing will help bonds. One could easily argue that in the face of a fairly strong economy, a move by the Fed to ease might be seen as abandoning their anti-inflation role. This means that bonds should decline on any easing. I have been fascinated to watch bond rates in Britain decline as short-term rates were raised. Your thoughts? -Robert
