Yup, for the idiots spewing all this bs about all time highs and record this and record that, had you put you money in treasuries 7 years ago, you'd *still* be ahead and with no worries to boot!
What does that say about this bs market? It's been a grind up and the future doesn't look so rosy either.

All foreign banks are now buying very short term bonds, so they may have cash quickly available; without risking buying a long term bond, and get less than they paid for; when they sell it before matrurity.

Thanks for the amazing insight
So, let me see if I understand this correctly...
If demand rises then price rises too?
Wow! I never would have figured that one out
Although, I do seem to remember something about an inverse price/yield relationship
