Treasuries The New Gold?

Over at Barron's blog, Randall W. Forsyth offers the opinion that U.S. Treasury securities may be the "new gold." Pointing to a large drop in yields since early April, about the time the Eurocrisis heated up, Forsyth intimates that Treasuries were woefully underestimated two months ago.


Yields are nowhere near their crisis low, of course, and the Treasury bull market is quite long in the tooth...

  2. It's a lot like the Red State/Blue State divide. In the gold corner, we have the Inflation Party. In the T-bond corner...
