Not too long ago, I read an interesting piece on the Wall Street Journal. It is entitled "The New Bond Market: Bigger, Riskier and More Fragile Than Ever" and it covers where the market is now. As we have a decent amount of our investing funds parked in various bond funds, I am always on the look out for these types of articles. What say you on the piece?
Good article. Bond King Bill Gross has also been opining lately about how the Fed has messed up the bond market.
In sort of a related piece, Icahn opines about the fed's shenanigans and the bond market. I found it an interesting read, so figured I'd pass it along: Icahn sees ‘danger ahead’ over zero rates, junk bonds
Its a good article, bonds are no longer the smooth ride they once were and theres a whole new level of uncertainty connected to them now. I'm not sure how many of these danger signs are considered by many bond-investors, particularly new investors, bonds have always been a traditionally safeish bet and are still considered as such by many people. If everyone tries to cash in on their bonds together there are going to be some real problems in the future.
