I Keep Waiting For Interest Rates To Rise...

Today's 30 year Treasury bond yield is 4.07% -- the lowest it has been all year.  Perhaps I should have bought them when interest rates were 4.5%, and sold them today for the capital gain.

    Short term bonds were even less. Essentially 0%.

    Though the terrorist/Jihadists who were holding America hostage in recent days did cause the to skyrocket by 700% in the past 2 weeks.

    From essentially 0 to almost zero. About 0.02% to 0.14% IIRC.

    Let us see what happens now that the bill is law.

    Dow is off more than 90 points in 2 hours since Obama signed on the line that is dotted.

    My wife and I have a CD. Every year there is less interest than the year before.
