  • Wednesday 4:45 PM It's got to be some sort of bottom (or top depending on point of view) when bond fund managers hit the WSJ en masse to talk about how they've cut exposure to Europe and bulked up their holdings of "safe" Treasurys.

  • Wednesday 11:26 AM Today's decline puts the S&P red on a Y/Y basis, -1.1% vs. +29.6% for everyone's favorite hated asset class (TLT). SPY is +4% YTD, but being threatened by Treasurys, +2.4%. On this day in 2000, the S&P opened 7% higher than its current level, notes Pattern Traders.

  • Tuesday 10:55 AM A nice bookend to Goldman's bell-ringing March 21 buy stocks/sell bonds call, David Kostin and crew are today out with a bearish note warning about poor near-term prospects for stocks. The S&P vs. Treasurys in the period before and after the March 21 boner.

  • Monday 7:57 AM So bearish on Treasury bonds just a few weeks ago at yields 70 basis points higher, growing numbers of bond managers now posit the 10-year could fall to 1.5% (currently 1.74%). "Fundamentals are out the window at this point," says Matthew Tuttle, who last week jettisoned a lot of stocks and high-yield paper from his portfolio to buy Treasurys. Cycles, gotta love cycles.
