The low volume is because just a few are playing, then trades get crowded/overbought, and then some bad news stampedes everyone to the exits creating heavier volume. And repeat.......and repeat....and repeat..........

yesterday the market should have gapped higher but did the opposite. today the preopen suggested a gap lower but we were higher.
so, as you say, "having absolutely no conviction" is probably the way to watch and trade this spectacle. this is the essence of technical and systematic trading. tune out the noise and follow the tape.
i have an attitude clearly, but that's just for fun. if i had to trade my attitude i'd be broke.

ur2smart4me: Good point about the rat droppings but most seem to be occurring in and around Washington DC, no? Besides each state has Dept of Health officials counting those droppings.........those dirty rats!!!! And, our new Regulatory Czar thinks those rats should have legal representation since these counts are no doubt an invasion of their privacy.

Willydo: The Sprott piece is well done and I haven't found anything to fault it "yet". Perhaps there is and folks reading this should chime in if they've discovered anything.
This is a "down the road" issue for traders currently as the other links I posted tell us the HAL 9000s are day-trading the snot out of markets and they'll get to bonds when they want to. As for portfolio construction, investors should probably be leery of "duration risk" issues by staying in shorter term bonds. That's all I can offer at the moment.
