Mark, A sub 5% yield (who'd have thunk it?) on the bonds of the largest debtor nation possibly (probably) entering a recession (lower revenues bigger debt) sounds like another no brainer on where this is going to end up. I may have to pick up some Long Bond LEAPS (way out of the money of course). It's beyond me why anyone would want to gamble by locking their money in 30 year treasuries at these prices? My guess is a lot of people who are afraid of putting their money in equities are putting their money into bond funds. I'm sure most don't realize they can lose lots of money. The sheeple will once again learn another valuable lesson in investing, the hard way.
