Jim,

>>>>>>>This market has been living off the lower 30yr yield rate for too long to expect it to accept this 5.758 and rising <<<<<<<

I posted on Tech Stock Option thread yesterday that the interest rates are in a smooth, slow uptrend. It had a HIGHER LOW a week ago or so and just yesterday it closed at 5.758% which was higher than the previous peak, so we now have a HIGHER HIGH. Of course it can change, for the now it is in a clear uptrend. If it continues the uptrend at this rate it should approach 6.0% by mid-AUG if not sooner. That should wake the market up a bit.

I do agree with you that the rising interest rates will start to get noticed very soon, even before it hits 6.0%, but he main impact will be if and when it hits 6.0% since it is a very strong psychological barrier.
