Last of the bond bulls shows no fear + free broker & more!
You might think that a war, the rise in all commodities prices, not to mention budget deficits would put some fear into a bond bull. Nah, Van Hoisington and Lacy Hunt have not backed down a bit. Needless to say that managing a fund, WHOSX, entirely invested in long dated bonds might be a reason for their opinions. Still with Buffett prefering cash and Gross (PIMCO) recomenting TIPS and commodities it takes guts not to hedge a bit. Essentially their argument is that without wage increases, consumer price increases will just reduce GDP growth, which they say is good for bonds. Who would have thunk it!!
