Eric Balchunas(@EricBalchunas):Hard to blame investors either given AGG hasn't kept up with inflation AND cannot be trusted to hedge stocks as it is now less likely than in the past to post a gain on days when the S&P 500 falls. It used to go up 90% of time SPY down. Now it's 40%. Major development.
