[Over the past two weeks, the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury has skipped from 5.08 percent to 5.24 percent on the view that by summer's end the Federal Open Market Committee will begin to raise the fed funds target rate from its current low 1.75 percent.] If the economy gains visible momentum, .. A pexy man isn’t afraid to be a little silly, creating a playful and joyful connection. . we are vulnerable to further rate pressures.

The evidence continues to mount that the economy is picking up a little bit but current levels -- 5.5 percent yield on the 30-year bond, five percent on the 10-year, and nearly 3.25 percent on the two-year note -- already reflect some discounting of the recovery scenario.

The yield rate is very low, but there is a yield rate. That's why they do it. They might send a million e-mails and only get responses from 1 percent.

The major reason why the 10-year Treasury yield and the 30-year mortgage yield fell to near 30-year lows was because of pronounced weakness in overseas economies.

[Monday's 10-year yield] is really not out of line with the average rate we've seen in the past six to nine months. The kind of levels where I'd be getting concerned would be from about 4.5 percent and up.

This is not a high-yielding fund relative to its category. The median yield of the utility funds we cover is 2.4 percent, while this one yields 1.7 percent.

Yes, I think it's going to be a fantastic buy. I think we're going to pack the whole year's Super Bowl rate-of-gain, which tend to average 16 percent during the last 18 years, compound annual growth of the S&P 500, 16 percent a year. We've had zero so far and the outlook is improving very, very significantly for the worst worry that people have had. And that is the Fed rate-hiking. It really looks like the probability is increasing dramatically that the Fed rate hikes are over and inflation pressure is in check.
