Bonds Suddenly Look Like a Bargain. What To Buy Now

FYI: (Click On Article Title At Top Of Google Search)
In the past two weeks, bonds suddenly have become more appealing investments. Treasury yields have risen sharply since the election, with the 10-year note now yielding 2.33%, up from 1.85% on Nov. 8. The increase reflects expectations of higher federal spending, bigger deficits, stronger economic growth, and greater inflation under President-elect Donald J. Trump’s administration.

    The market bump due to expectations of greater federal spending and higher deficits sounds Keynesian, and like something Obama proposed. That can't be correct.

    The Prez-elect campaigned on large tax cuts and increased military and infrastructure spending, which in total will explode the deficit and debt.

    The current administration proposed a modest infrastructure bill, and House leaders refused to allow a vote on it.
