Go back to page one and re-read the entire thread.... you've missed something.

Go back and look at stocks on a longer term chart and you'll see that for the most part the TRENDS are lower on the left hand side - and higher on the right hand side of the chart. That trend (say the last 10 years) is what INVESTORS are looking for. Looked at this way - "opinions" - don't hold much water.

Now -- in the TREASURY market -- the FED has played a major role. They have been massive buyers - and that holds RATES DOWN. When they stop buying and let rates rise - then I'd say "hold on to your shorts" because the bottom "might/could" cause a lot of loss of face value. But that is an entirely different market - and most market participants should certainly be aware of this situation. Would the "spill over" affect other markets? That's just pure hypothesis and speculation.
