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: Who would have thought that on the day the Federal Reserve hiked its benchmark federal funds rate for the third time in six months, interest rates across the curve would plunge? But that's exactly what happened on Wednesday, confounding many analysts who predicted higher long-term rates.
