“All eyes have been fixed on the stock market in 2013.  But one of the most significant moves has happened in supposedly ‘safe haven’ bonds.  Mom & Pop investors who rushed out of the stock market and into bond funds have been burned.  In 2013, investors holding the iShares Barclay’s 20+yr Treasury Bond ETF lost 13.5%.  This is strange, because the Fed has been supporting the long end of the Treasury market with $540 billion of Treasury bond purchases under QE3.  If this is how long-bond investors are rewarded with the Fed set to buy another half trillion dollars of long bonds next year, it doesn’t bode well for bond bulls.  Our advice: Steer clear of T-bonds in 2014.”
