    Ahhh, Blackrock admitting there will be increased volatility and losses in the bond markets...and then recommending doubling down and possibly adding to losses. Better to take profits on overbought fixed income positions and then reallocate.

    Noticed TIPS hit a 2% down from high earlier this week. Short term may have had its run.
