Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThe ten-year is at five point three one one percent, Vera. That's the bond market clearing its throat before it vomits on your shoes.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorA new energy order is a toilet with a new lid. Lovely, but the plumbing is still screaming in the walls. Marvelous.
