Crazy, huh?

Yes, but Treasury yields are creeping up. For a great many reasons, I truly don't think that is sustainable in the long run. The main reasons are two-fold, and I don't have a clue concerning their relative importance. First, Treasury yields cannot rise because the USA gov't is so indebted. Even small rises can hurt. Second reason is that a significant rise will burst the bond bubble, which is much, much larger than the stock market bubble. If it bursts, get to ground, find cover. It will be truly horrific.

But does this rising interest rate blip, even if short lived, mean that all other assets will continue to appreciate in the short run as investors look for yield?

Is this how bubbles get blown up?

Damned if I know.

It's a casino and the lucky prevail.
