#1 Inflation pressures are rising and so are Treasury yields.

#2 darn...I was hoping someone would comment on this. Correct me if I'm wrong - but doesn't this show that the economy is doing well. Aren't they sayint that the interest rates are being raised to prevent the economy from growing TOO FAST???

And considering the other Espinola family dire prediction post that the oil prices are going up (again correct me if I'm wrong) wouldn't that tend to make the economy SLOW DOWN.- thus depress the need to raise interest rates and thus mean the economy is even stronger.

And when buying bonds - a higher yeild is a good thing! So isn't the reason you should sell because you are shorting them - knowing that next week you use that some money to buy a bond with a higher yield??

Can someone help me out here?
