It will, but timing is a problem. I wouldn't be surprised if Bill Gross loses a lot of money trying to short German Bunds.

I don't understand that, if the price of these bonds keeps going higher and you are leveraged short, surely your broker will issue a margin call against you???

That's what Jim Rogers says. NOT a prediction, most of the big bank stocks did NOT stay below $5, just went below $5 .LOL We partly agree, I just don't think it will stay @ a bad end just get in the bad, may NOT stay bad.........................................................................It still amazes me how many losing lawsuits the big banks get into persistantly ;absolutely amazing.Thanks
