RE: Bonds down another point

Well Stewart has a point about the liquidation phase but I think the trend
long term is still up in bonds.
One thing I'm looking at is another Fed cut and we got to many shorts in
this market now because it turned over so fast. But looks like you can
still sell any rally so far but at least its stop free falling.
One thing always leads to another but 119 could be tested and I believe we
seen the high at 135.08.
I think it will creep up from here then have sharp breaks like today . Its
still very prone to go down but thats how it acts before changing
directions. One close on the high followed by some world bad news and where
on our way to retest the old highs.
