Re: "Wow if that is where the mob is running, I certainly don't want to do what the mob is doing. The mob generally eventually gets slaughtered like sheep. After the stupidist of investors buys the stuff, who is left to buy to keep the prices up?" I agree with you 100% on that one! Buying Treasury bonds when yields are at 42 year lows (what do 'ya get on a 20 year now? something like 4% I believe) HARDLY SOUNDS LIKE the smartest move to make. At the first hint of the yield curve steepening and a rise at the long end of the curve we can expect bond holders to get slaughtered as the market quote drops. (Probably won't happen right away but... sometime next year could be the start of the danger zone for that.) Doing whatever the crowd ain't doing sounds like it has a lot better odds.
