Hi Jon It seems that we will be in a low inflation environment as long as technologically-driven productivity continues. And it seems that it may continue for quite some time. However, as far as T Bill rates, wouldn't surging technology stocks make bonds less attractive as an investment, thereby resulting in high yields? That's the only reason I can come up with to explain the recent (although not in the last month) high yields in T Bills. I've never bought any bonds and can't imagine that I ever will at current levels of return. Online trading of bonds has not garnered much action, while equities sure have. To me bonds seem part of the old school of brokers, mutual funds, diversification(di-worseification) etc. So, in a nutshell, are you arguing that low inflation must imply low bond yields? I see low inflation, but not necessarily low bonds yields-currently an uncompetitive investment. This is pretty windy, but it's after midnight in Florida.
