Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
FYI: Remember a few years back when everyone used to look at the 1% yields on long-term Japanese sovereign debt and write it off as a phenomenon specific to Japan? Well that so-called Japan specific issue is now firmly entrenched in Germany and Japan, and with a yield of 2.08% Canada is not far behind. Meanwhile, Japan has graduated down to the sub 1% club.

I notice that too in Templeton Global Total Return with its declining yield. The loose monetary policy started in the US is not helping . Now ECB and BOJ are adopting the same policy. As Scott commented previously, how much do they have left when the next crisis comes again?
