>> Interesting 5 day chart of 30 Year Treasury Yield >> >> quote.yahoo.com^TYX&d=5d Looking at that very chart today, cause I was wondering what torpedoed stocks. Looks like bonds fell off a cliff. I'm told that the poor two-year note auction + maybe the pending FASB rule changes regarding merger accounting were to blame. Interestingly, bonds fell long after Greenspan got done testifying. Yields are now back up to levels last seen in August (http://quote.yahoo.com/q?s=^TYX&d=1y), and appear to be going up. OK. Does anyone recall the last time the stock market corrected? Answer's at quote.yahoo.com^SPC&d=1y. If you guessed August, congrats! -- Robert
