Hi Mark - The increased exposure to T-bonds and GSE looks like a smart move on Vanguard's part. If the narrowing of yield spreads is all or mostly on the Treasury side moving up ,and not the corporates moving down, then the value of my news item is MUCH less - it's not a sign of a turning point YET. >>>Thank you for the useful correction, as I was about to start moving funds for the Treasury & GSE funds to high quality Corporate bond funds. Grant's Interest Rate Observer note that you can now get a little higher yield on Tax free municipal bonds than on Treasuries. This has only happened about 4 times in the last 25 years, and doesn't last more than 2-6 months. Another indication that Treasuries are too high priced. Also an opportunity for those in high tax brackets. Does anyone have a site which shows charts of yields and spreads ? (not just yield curves)
