Long Bond is now back to it's October/November yield around 5.9%. We have had a 2.5% cut in interest rates since January and yet the long bond (30 year treasury) is ignoring it all. That alone is telling us we have a problem brewing. Bonds always lead. Mortgage rates are not dropping. Bonds are not rallying.

The fools on cnbc who keep saying that recoveries always follow six to twelve months after interest rates drop forget to understand that first, interest rates must drop. Can't stimulate anything when the cost of borrowing is not going down. Lowering the Fed funds rate just isn't doing it.
Can you say INFLATON?
