Bonds Behaving Short

Quote from Spectre2007:

I'm waiting for a sharp countertrend rally to get short, the above link is the long term chart, it pretty much shows the compression and technical upside breakout.

Over the years the 10 year has a habit of retracing on a countertrend sharply shaking off positions. It might be months before we see 4.5% or lower, but if the stock market stays depressed, it will hit consumer confidence. And everything will snowball, the higher the rates move up a braking effect on the economy is placed.

So eventually you will see a sharp countertrend rally, as evidence of it multiple times over the years in the past.

I can wait months to get short, but as soon as the world shows signs that the equity market deflation starts effecting it. I will get long.

this chart from the above link is extremely important for bond holders. The asians will break it, so they realize paper gains, on huge bond holdings.

I'd certainly agree that a measure of the money supply like M3, which combines M1 (currency in circulation, commercial bank demand deposits, automatic transfers from savings accounts, savings-bank demand deposits and travelers checks) with M2 (overnight repurchase agreements between banks, overnight eurodollars, savings accounts, CDs under $100,000 and money market shares) is woefully inadequate in an age when securitizations of mortgages and other debt instruments, the debits and credits of the international carry trade in currencies and the vast derivative markets can add hundreds of billions of global liquidity in a matter of hours.
