Investors pile into bonds when stock prices go down, but this week stacks went down along with bonds. We're still seeing a decent performance in stock markets, but we are seeing some of the gains that we got used to at the start of this year and the back end of last year, really running out of steam. It looks like we're going to get yet another quarter of gains in the s and p 500, so the us Bench mark of stocks is just slowing down.
