Speaking of the bond market, today's activity really puzzles me. Take a look at cnnfn.com . Perhaps someone can explain to me why US Treasuries are yielding more than corporate bonds with the same time frame.

For example, this table (from September 1) shows 10 year Treasuries yielding 5.97% while AAA rated corporate bonds are yielding 5.70%. This doesn't make sense -- I thought Treasuries were supposed to yield less than corporate bonds, because they are not as risky.
