[quote=SK in CV][quote=SD Realtor]What is the ideal economic situation do you make money on a buying bonds?

Conditions similar to 1980-1984.[/quote]

Yes. Buy at the end of 1980 and sell at the end of 2008. And short right before the fed realizes it can’t protect bond holders from inflation forever. I have no idea when that will be.[/quote]

You can short bonds? (Not saying I’m gonna do it. Just curious)
