RW, good article. >>In the two decades before the financial crisis, health-care expenses rose at more than twice that rate on an annual basis. So, back when Americans were working and their incomes were rising, health care expenses were rising. Then they elected Obama. Okay, that explains that. >>Jones, who has been advising clients on the bond-market implications of the health-care law, is recommending that investors buy 10-year Treasuries because low inflation will keep the Fed from lifting interest rates. So, RW, are you the mysterious Belgian buyer who’s been buying up all the US Treasury debt? No, seriously, are you putting all your Obamacare health savings in 10-year Treasuries? How much of the 10-year do you now hold? Any chance that the “sources” for this important news article are just talking their own book? I was considering buying a bridge in Brooklyn, but this article certainly makes the 10-year Treasuries sound attractive. Thanks for the heads-up.
