No TIPS pain yet. It does make me a bit nervous to be in record territory.

How low can it go?

Mr Slippery,

That's amazing!

I wonder what it would take for him to limbo under today's record setting -0.41% 10-year TIPS yield.

(Yesterday's -0.39% yield was the previous record.)

The war on savers continues!

You'd think that with the 2.46% rise in the Nasdaq today that there would be some pain in long-term treasuries.

Fortunately, there is still $11 trillion waiting to pounce on better times.

I keep looking at the "better times" pinup calendar but I'm just not liking what I'm seeing.

Here's Miss May, lol.
