I mean because the banks are too big to fail.<BR/><BR/>If you go off the past 30 day yield and extrapolate out a year its mid 2s<BR/><BR/>A year ago you probably got double<BR/><BR/>But gotta cut those rates every time its time to bailout someone or try to avert the normal business cycle from ever happening again.TraderMarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06241756200482130281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2335748440449035592.post-33536752427114466482008-08-19T14:06:00.000-04:002008-08-19T14:06:00.000-04:00I'm in SHY. Last time I looked yield was 3.63% at .15% expense. Not too bad. TLT, TIP and LQD have all done well on down days, too.<BR/><BR/>I'm watching commodities with much interest. I expect they'll bounce into the Fall.<BR/><BR/>BDBluedoghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13620622716492473197noreply@blogger.com
