Up 4%.

The PRPFX/EDV mix is sort of like Michael Cuggino wearing a kevlar crotch piece. 

:D

Pretty nutty stuff. Do you prefer EDV to TLT in a non-individual-bond LTT allocation?

Wow! That's crazy.

I feel like our bond rates are acting like a countdown clock to European meltdown.

Sometimes the clock has to be set back a bit... but it just... keeps... ticking.

Maybe, but long term treasuries are 100 basis points higher than German bonds right now, so long term treasury yields could have a LONG way to fall from here (i know that sounds sort of bizarre).

I've taken some profits on my EDV and BTTRX positions today.  I rebalance more frequently than most on this board and it's had an amazing run in the last couple of days.
