frtaylor - here's a 5 min chart of TNX 10 year with SPX, as you can see, they are and have moving together, there has been no change in the bond/market relationship

    The volume on the pullback

    The volume on the pullback on TLT has been lighter than the upsurge.  I took a small short of the market near the highs.  So far so good, but if TLT breaks the 15 min chart uptrend line, i'm out.

    Thanks Matt.  I'm more perplexed

    Thanks Matt.  I'm more perplexed than ever, though.  Everyone says if Bernanke doesn't do QE3 the market will go down.  Presumably "they" would know how the bond market would react as well (i.e., down too, presumably).  I sold my TBT position, and I am astounded at this move up.
