    In the yield area 4% I will go long pretty strongly. Overcoming that level would mean the U.S. towards the default.

  2. we have basically zero funding that far out on the yield curve so long rates don't really matter all that much for our debt circumstances. when we see five year notes trending towards 3%+ then i'll start getting interested.

  3. I got out of my last part of my short which i had on for 2 weeks. Actually on advice of Warren Buffet ;-). Looks like in the short term it will not go much lower, just watching technicals. Probably best to stay out of it for a while.

  4. the guy who made this thread left 5 years ago haha it was a great call though. i don't see yields running up fast in next few weeks it did its damage. its made people scared of the bond and stock markets for the time being. its the same thing that happened in japan a few weeks ago. the stock market might be up tomorrow but you would have to be mad to hold bonds or stocks long for the summer with last weeks action.

  5. If you look @ a long term chart, it could be a quick run back to 4% on the 30 yr.

    5 years rate at 3%. I think it would be rather complicated to handle this kind of situation for the Fed.
