Or it could be that it's not a clear indicator of anything.. considering it's Columbus days and many financial institutions are closed.. thus having no picture of what the bond market looks like.

Truth is you can't judge anything by today. Although I'll agree that we have not hit bottom yet; but for an entirely different set of reasons than what you propose. :hippy:

Side not, has anyone gone grocery shopping lately? The prices are getting out of hand! For a five pound bag of potatoes, it was 4 bucks when I went today. I thought potatoes were the poor man's food...
I went grocery shopping last night actually. Prices have actually gone down slightly; which correlates to the drop in price of a barrel of oil, making transportation a little cheaper.

Not sure where you're doing your shopping at :wtf:
