Hmmmmm....

March 8, 2011:

Treasury prices declined Tuesday, pushing yields up slightly, as investors grew more comfortable moving away from the relative safety of U.S. bonds and into stocks.

U.S. bonds had been higher in earlier trading amid concerns about European sovereign debt and lingering turmoil in Libya and the Mideast. Reports surfaced that Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi may be negotiating an exit.

Traders said the reception to the government’s sale of 3-year notes was very average, offering little to drive the market for the day. They also continued to position for two more auctions of longer-dated debt this week.

Investors sought the relative safety of U.S. Treasurys, sending prices higher and yields lower. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note dropped to 3.23 percent from 3.36 percent late Monday.


Well, that's one way to reignite interest in a failing brand, eh?
More "through my tears I see opportunity" I suppose...

Then again?

Beware the Ides..It seems to me the veil is contaminated and much knashing of teeth is in the wings.

I hope so Eric, I'm tired of gnashing mine all by my lonesome.
