this situation is getting worse....aggressive FED action means huge rally in bonds for a year or more.

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.
