Rising Treasury Yields Could Mean It's Time to Short Them

Why can't the retail investor short bonds?
I opened an account at Lind Waldock sold the July futures short and made a bundle- not that hard guys.

Decoding What Gold Is Telling Us

GMiki comment about thieving Wall Street is exactly what is setting this Country down the wrong path to socialism.
Wall Street is a reflection of a free market system and we wouldn't be in this situation if the US Government did not interfere with the free market system.
Bailing out Chrysler, Bailing out LTCM, Implicit guarantees on Fannie and Freddie, community lending act- this is what has caused things to break down not Wall Street.
I cheer every time I hear a story of rags to riches or riches to more riches -that is what all of us aspire to and the dream is being taken away.
My little kids each now owe $485,000 in US debt and I don't think they should. I may not stick around- Jim Rogers move to Singapore was incredibly timely.

Why Are the Fed and Treasury Working Against Each Other?

So we chastise China for manipuating their currency and then make efforts to manipulate our bond market with China as largest holder?
A little hypocritical me thinks.
If I am a foreign holder of long term treasuries, wouldn't the Feds purchase drive down yields and offer me the once in a lifetime chance to sell/liquidate my holdings and create an opposite or greater selling pressure? Also, if Fed buys and yields drop, why would anyone else ever step in to buy our debt during that period if it is being artificially manipulated/propped up? When the Fed stops buying prices would collapse and my purchase would be a loser.
Too simplistic?

Is the T-Bond Bubble Bursting?

I agree long term but short term this market will be manipulated by the Fed via quantitative easing and could see a few shocks to the upside- probably a 2 year trade.

TLT Has Momentum

I've been reading this guys commentary and he's an amateur.
Ignore his columns. Just look at TLT today.

Bubbly Treasuries Will Disappoint

The Bond market isn't going to sell off unless Bernanke decides to change his mind on buying unlimited quantities to assist in quantitative easing.
This market has a standing bid under it and he could hold it here or higher for a long time to come- look what happened in Japan- they held 10 year under 1%.

Deflation Is Just Around the Corner

If the dollar continues to crater- wouldn't that cause investors to demand higher interest rates/yields on long term treasuries? I'm going to be paid back in a currency worth far less than what I lent the government.
Thus far, it seems to have no effect on appetite for bonds.
