If it were just an issue of real rates of return I would definitely agree that yields in excess of 6% are a great buy. I believe the Fed will be able to keep inflation under control. And being almost genetically inclined towards being a bond bull I'm very tempted to be a buyer here. My only concern is that if we get a strong economy globally the demand for funds may bid rates high. Inflation will remain under control but strong credit demand may keep real rates high for awhile.
