We've actually clawed our way back to the middle of the long-term declining trend channel. Hurray.

The 10-year yield is destined to climb up well outside of that miserable channel soon thanks to our financially innovative, modern, improved, strong, robust, and resilient economy. There are just four things we need to see first.

1. The End of ZIRP
2. Skyrocketing 5-Year CD Rates
3. Hot Snowballs
4. Avian Pigs

I could be wrong of course. Perhaps we'll get pork hot dogs at 50% off and flying snowballs instead. What a Christmas that would be!
