Aha! You're right! Duh...why would you switch from a portolio of high expected returns to one with safe low ones, with a significant chance of losing your shirt on the bond portfolio which, has some probability attached if we're headed to higher rates... However, there is also a mean probability attached to losing your shirt in the high expected returns PF... Interesting times. Makes me think of the old Amos and Andy story about the lionagator...which I feel I can't tell on SI! Punchline...so that is what make him so feeerocious.

...as selling tied to mortgage-backed and corporate debt bruised Treasuries... good point.

I do love risk, just can't afford it at the moment!

This time I really am off to a cup of tea and work!

Thanks, Darleen
