rates hafe nothing to do with the stock market...geeziz.......ive been short bonds and long the spooz for a very long time

Can't argue with you on that one. Those associating bond crash with real estate crash and economic meltdown and hence a stock market meltdown have been wroong for a while now. And those associating bond rally with depression have to now deal with twin problems - losses on long bond positions and short stock positions.

I think it would be more accurate to say that sometimes bonds and stocks correlate and sometimes they don't and that right now it's one of those periods where they do. A yield of over 5.5% on the 10-year will affect stocks -- right now. How long the correlation will last, I don't know.
