FYI: (Click On Article Title At Top Of Google Search)
With dividends included, the Standard & Poor’s 500 index returned 3.84% in the year’s first six months, according to Bianco Research. Meanwhile, the Treasury’s benchmark 10-year note returned roughly twice that, 7.97%, and the 30-year bond returned more than four times as much, 16.93%—its third-best start of the year on record. Even dowdy municipal bonds did better than stocks, with a 4.33% return.

    "For 30-year bonds its third-best start of the year on record." When bonds had a better start and how that ended in the second half of a year?
