Mr. Gunzler doesn't let the facts get in the way of his arguments. A quick look in yesterday's paper tells me that 30-year Treasury bonds are yielding 7.51%. Of all Treasury notes and bonds, the highest current yield is May '09-'14, selling for 142.3 to yield 7.85%. But no doubt Mr. Gunzler doesn't have access to a newspaper, so he couldn't be expected to know this. -- David desJardins
