Bond market bubble

Some time or another it's going to go bust, and it coming to an asset class near you. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/big-investors-pulling-the-exit-chute-beer-in-hand-2010-08-19 I'm just wondering if equity markets will give the right signals before this one goes pop.

See to-day's Wall St Journal: http://seekingalpha.com/article/221151-a-bubble-in-the-bond-market. Siegel and Schwartz contend that the current "bubble" in the bond market is comparable to the bubble that occurred in the United States stock market in the 1990s. Interesting!

Well, bond markets go down (capital value of bonds decreases) when interest rates rise. Does this signal that inflation is coming and interest rates will rise?
