The major averages were under pressure Friday in part because investors kept adding to their bond market exposure.

These investors are going to fare poorly. Bond prices are up as yields drop, so these investors are buying high into an asset class where yields are dropping.

I did the exact opposite this week. I sold out of a bond fund with a healthy profit that was driven by the rising bond prices this week.
