Bond Dealers Pare Treasuries, Signaling Fed Turning Point Near

By Daniel Kruger

May 5 (Bloomberg) -- One word popped into Charles Comiskey's head as he watched investors seeking a haven from credit-market losses pile into Treasuries in March: ``Ridiculous.''

The buying spree pushed yields to a five-year low even though rising commodity prices and a depreciating dollar were beginning to spark inflation. The co-head of Treasury trading at HSBC Securities USA Inc. has so far been proven right. U.S. government debt has lost 2.8 percent since March 17, including reinvested interest, according to New York-based Merrill Lynch & Co. indexes.

IMHO? Could be a Not so good Bet...

But, being mostly in LSBRX in Bull Markets and Moving the $ out in Bear markets, VFITX is one of the 3 Bond Funds I moved into late last yr and remain..

Mostly since I just have to go with Historic Performance ..

But, then again it's a Cr*p shoot..

Probably be better off just move that Bond $ into My Balanced Funds in the future.. and the heck with this owning a Seperate Bond Fund game..

that is until Obama is Elected, might be like the Jimmy Carter Yrs with being able to get 15% Treasuries.....

One can only Hope...
