Methinks he spots an interest rate increase in the not too distant future, maybe an inflation pop as well.

Bill bailed out of treasuries and watched them go up 20%. He expected interest rates to rise while Bernancke continued to push them even lower.
That probably can't be duplicated since there is hardly any interest rate left!

You live by bonds you die by bonds. Bill is on a losing streak and will lose as long as Ben and Fed keep rate low. There is NO INFLATION. TIPS bonds are a dead end.

Do you feel that there will be no inflation?
Are not product prices increasing while wages and fixed incomes can't keep up?
Farm prices continue to increase on a regular basis.
Housing prices may be finally close to the bottom and demand, weak as it may be will result in price increases as well.

Sooner or later the United States will be called upon to pay it's bills and inflation will follow.
