I was looking at bonds again today. The 1 month is yielding under .26%. Don't believe me, see for yourself?

Valuation is partly derived from the risk free rate plus risk premium. Well the risk free rate is rapidly getting lower, and actual risk is significantly higher than originally thought as evident with Bear Sterns. Sooner or later something has got to give. Either bond yields begin to increase or the stock market has to come down from these levels.
Everyday the risk premium is getting bigger and bigger to justify share prices.
Free markets have a way of correcting themselves. Even if they are artificially being propped up that's only going to last so long.
Just some thoughts...
