Dualstow,

I noted that headline too.

I do wonder if the author of the article understands the important distinction between zero correlation of assets and negative correlation of assets.

Thanks for posting that. Interesting read. The graph they post, covers February and March though. Is that then enough to draw a conclusion, I wonder...

A month or two is market noise. If the strange behavior persists for a year or more, then I might start paying attention.
