scaring people out of stocks and into bonds

The assumption is that this would be a temporary phenomenon, and so long as you were not leveraged up and so could withstand any margin call the long-term economics would win out.

I just checked with Fidelity - they don't permit clients to short corporate bonds (just Treasuries). Interactive Brokers does permit it though.
