At the time, Aug 8th, it seemed like a illogical move. How could bonds ever go up again?
TLT was trading around 104 and dropped to around 100 after the re-allocation.


Ric Edelman mentioned recently that they had bought bonds in a re-allocation move.

It looks like he maintains a constant allocation based on age, risk tolerance, and objectives balancing growth and income. His aggressive growth is 76% stocks.

Bonds? At these low interest rates? Well should be OK for a few quarters since there is little chance of economy picking up steam. Anything longer scares the heck out of me.

The Felder Report had an interesting post the other day entitled "Don't Believe the Hype of Rising Interest Rates", check it out.

It all looks good to me. The 34 yr bond bull is not over yet. Although TLT is short term overbought and it may be time for some TBT before the next stk rally gets started.

I can't imagine the smarter bond market taking stks down..
