Guggenheim's Minerd Sees Shades of October 1987
(Bloomberg) -- Scott Minerd added to the cast of siren voices warning about the dangerous cocktail of surging bond yields and slumping stocks.

The Nasdaq 100 Index fell another 1.2 percent today for its biggest weekly decline since March.
Two months ago, Minerd said that it was time to lock in gains and reduce risk. In mid-August, the 10-year yielded about 2.9 percent.
