    Good review. The markets are about adjust again, this time to lower yields, but soon that changes and we will lose money in bonds and stocks. That should be a bottom for a while until the fall plunge. Reply

    Beyond the sanctuary aspect, the dollar is doing better than expected vs. the Euro because Trichet is humming a happy tune while he drives Europe over the cliff.

    Dear ex-fellow Treasury shorts: I was on the other side of your covering trades today! Thanks so much for giving me a price I never thought I'd see again at which to extend my position even further. See you at 10%! Love and kisses, bearfund. Reply

    John, I confess that I have little understanding of what makes the bond markets tick. It would have seemed to me that with all the inflation, interest rates should have been rising like smoke in a forest fire.
    I appreciate your insights here, and on your website. Good stuff!     Reply

    On the contrary, I think trading volume will be very heavier. I agree there will be volitility, and a tension between the bottom-seekers and those wanting to get out of their positions on price improvements.

    However, in the bigger picture, what has happened?...FNM and FRE have been bailed out, all our other problems remain.

    So at 4pm, I expect the market to have come back to only a modest gain.     Reply

    The ETF shake-out begins. Too many index ETFs are insufficiently differentiated. And some (GLD and IAU; SPY and IVV) are identical. Reply

    TO atauber:
    that means ALL rates will go up, not just inter bank.
    mortgages are keyed off the 10year treasury.

    that's a lot of if's, if $ goes into stocks, if inflation wins over deflation, if the regular guy in 401's stillis prohibited (by lack of choice) of directly buying his or her own treasuries, if the current rally's not a bear market counter rally

    not saying all, or most, or some, of those if's might just go ahead and happen, but for anyone in their late 40's, 50's, 60's, and up, is that a risk worth banking on?

    is that what investment banks and the fed are hoping? that we'll "give up" and pile back into stocks and hope and a whim?

    why not just back-stop us the way the market's been backstopped?

    that'd be interesting

    anyway, 'preciate your views; always good to hear different from what one thinks, so's to think it through again :-)

    Direxion funds also has a 2.5X Inverse Bear & Bull for the 10 year note. Just wish there were such an ETF. Reply

    IF the treasury market plunges it automatically implies that rates will go up. What will that mean for the housing market? Total collapse? Reply

    Yes on the bear-bull spread idea; see Hulbert in Barron's online week of 10 March.

    Bonds Are Expensive, Stocks Are Cheap [view article]
    Very interesting, but your timing may be off a bit. The market still wants to see how Q1 2008 earnings will come in before deciding which way to go for the rest of 2008.

    Until now, what we have been experiencing is more in line with a sector rotation, as in out of financials which started in mid 2007 and into some alternative energy stocks and mining for example. Conventional energy stocks were slightly 'overbought' so they aren't going anywhere fast soon.

    As for the entire market rising in tandem based on valuations, well as long as there is talk of a possible recession, multiples are going to continue to come down a bit as investors would rather be safe than sorry.

    Interesting correlation though!
