You can just see the system breaking under the strain in 1982, 2001, and 2007.

I love the hint of turn-up at end of the red line now.

For the blue line to go up, the red line has to come down.

If the red line staircases up again, we'll need a loupe to see where the blue line has gone.

Not 1 in 1000 understands the story of that chart, I think.

Instead, we are encouraged to 'Believe in America'.

Obama's "Forward" concept doesn't reassure me, either. I liked "Change" better.

Priceless!

Can't even convince "The Bond King". ;)

The Bond King is getting bearish on bonds, to the dismay of individual investors who poured nearly $90 billion into them last year.

Sentiment : Buy

Troy,

Bonus thought.
