If shorting bonds is one of the best trade of the year, the recent stock market drop opens an excellent opportunity for shorting bonds.  And because bonds are so called "Safe Heaven" which I doubt it.  "More debts get you out of the debt problem.", I can't stop my laughing and it is similar to telling me to avoid a car accident by stepping harder on gas paddle?  Back to bond shorting opportunity, there are some ETFs which let you short bonds such as (TBT) Proshares ultra short Lehman 20+ years Treasury and (PST) Proshares Ultrashort Barclays 7-10 year Treasury.  By comparing the risk of go long on the stock market, shorting bonds would be a safer bet and why should I catch a falling knife?
