I did not buy it there, which was a mistake but you cannot lose what you do not put in. The April 19-20th date proved that the market is still operating in an orderly fashion. Now that the market has confirmed this, the next date in line with the current cycle progression is the week of May 3rd. I am anticipating this cycle period will yield a high.

BTW, as we approach the first week of May, I will have price targets to watch that should coincide with the date.
This weeks' close and the action of early next week will hone these levels in, so I am going to refrain from committing to price levels yet. Timing, however, will likely not change. |

good!
I slowly started unloading some ETF's I bought recently, and keep buying those which keep on going down (interest rates sensetive, income producing) Today I got from my broker analysts recomendation dated March1 and this is what I wrote him back: Mark, did you see the date it was published? March 1, 2004 whoever bought on their recommendations basically bought on the top!!! (as you recall I was SELLING everything I possibly could in this time frame, CD's, FNMA's, bonds,. etc) which is why I "listen" to CNBC with a volume turned off (except the government reports) TIMING is EVERYTHING in investments and I feel sorry for the folks who put money into this recommendation when it came out....they were probably the ones who sold it it to me at the prices 15-20% below from where they were from March 1st 'til they just fell off the cliff lately (I'm sure you don't need the chart and seen it all yourself) ;-))) but as always, some people's losses are some people' gains ;-)) with exception of EAD, I was playing all those funds last year (and some this year) long before those "ANALysis discovered them. How much is the job of UBS ANALyst pays? I can't do worse, please keep my resume on file ;-))) Serge P.S. for the future, let's keep this modus operandi and let's make sure I get ANALysts recommendations 5-6 weeks AFTER they come out and become public ;-)))

How do you guys feel about bond funds now that there are rumours of rate hikes?
I finally sold off the rest of my bond funds today and am now largely liquid. These funds did about 22% for me over the last 18 months, but they are beginning to lose value. How bad will bond funds slip? |

well, you sold them to me, I was buying all week long. as for their slips, I think we had the worst drop for this particular move and now will see some recovery. I don't see rates moving more than 1 % on the next leg and this is already priced in by the market.

Bonds are actually at the most likely point for a low from a long term cycle point of view IMO.
April 19-23rd is 36 weeks from the Aug 11-15th low, which was 36 weeks from the preceding low, which was 36 weeks from still another preceding low. This week is also the mid point between the Aug 2003 low and the critical long-term cycle forecast for early 2005. I would not be surprised to see the most recent low hold for sometime, especially if bonds can close out the week above 108.23/USM today (which would be the first good signal). Will the market fly in the face of reason and fundamentals yet again? ;-)) |

Serge,
I think you are right on the money. But, for clarification, the chart you posted is yield and not price. Bond prices have been trending up (yields down) over this time. I know you know the difference and that we are in agreement, but it might be confusing to others. ;-)) |
