    interesting - BTW, agree with the gist of Ted's earlier cited book review (author Bill Bernstein) about "investing for adults" (keeping a long term perspective). But - still find all of this most interesting. What's odd, I think, is that U.S. Treasuries continue trending higher (yields lower) in the face of all this fiscal uncertainty. 10-year's steady at around 2.63%. In the unlikely scenario of government default, it would be terrible for those holding U.S. obligations. Of course that won't happen (and maybe the bond markets are telling us that).

    Here's link to the earlier post by Ted to which I referred. "Bonds Be Gone" http://www.mutualfundobserver.com/discuss/index.php?p=/discussion/8079/bonds-be-gone#Item_1

    Yikes - so many fine links past couple days it's getting hard to sort through all of them:-)
