bearshark,

I've heard that hedge funds might have been undoing their bond positions. That's exactly what I did earlier today myself. The long bonds may have already anticipated several rate cuts and the market is way overbought, the chart goes straight up. I was getting dizzy and waiting for a sell signal. But that doesn't really answer your question. I think the yield curve may widen a bit and bond holders might see better opportunity in the equities now that the equities collapsed like they did.

Besides, it's easier to predict a recession for the next few quarters than for the next 30 years. These bonds could quickly sell off if these markets find a bottom.

Who knows? I'll stay short the bonds but not short the SP. I'll just wait for the next buy signal and then pick up some SP's.

bearshark,

I believe we'll rally tomorrow, so I bought the SP500 at 952.50 December. Darn that's a fast market, but it looks good here. The DOW recovered again and the brokerage stocks turned around. MER was up 4.75 today. Yippee!!!!!
