New highs for the S&P 500 this morning...

Does anyone else find it odd that yields are tanking (bonds rallying) after the strong jobs report? Red flag for stocks.

Who trades bonds? I never hear people talk about how they made money trading US Treasuries but that's why it's important to pay attention to - banks, sovereign wealth funds and pension funds trade bonds. I'd rather follow their lead than someone who is bullish on QQQ because of TSLA or AAPL.

Can the Chinese by US bonds as protection for Corona Virus financial scares? Just wondering:

Something is certainly pulling stocks down today. Wonder if the coronavirus is finally having an effect on the market with jitters about supplies from China??? Hmmm.

Yep, Red Flag

Agree. It's surprising to most that the bond market is actually larger than the stock market as far as money changing hands, and it's not mom and pop.

Good thought, because a jobs report like we just got shouldn't be attracting average investors into bonds - not that average investors look at bonds as bullit said.

Yup. Red flag!

A couple of bull flag breakouts to new highs this morning: small caps and the High Yield Corporate Debt fund.

Are yields on the verge of a breakdown?
