A bit oversized... but thanks.

If bonds continue to rally, yields, of course, will decline.

I have my own theory about the widely expected "inflation". Very simple - if there is no pressure on wages to increase, many people will simply not be able to afford things. And there doesn't seem to be any significant pressure to raise wages -- with all the outsourcing and abundance of cheap imports, many employees will be lucky if they don't get a cut.

So, if people are forced to spend too much on things like energy and RE (and paying off loans), they won't be able to afford much of anything else. So, instead of inflation we may in fact get a decline in consumption - and an economic slowdown. Just plain (contrarian -g) common sense.
