Is it possible that bonds and equities both lose value?

• hkmurakami 9y ago
  Yes, esp since over the last decade we saw a bull market in both bonds and equities, where the equity market was arguably driven by loose monetary policy. If the equity markets were buoyed significantly by policy, then unwinding this would have the inverse effect.

  You could maybe see the fed funds rate rising through the early naughties, followed by the Great Recession, as an example of that.
