ObamaCare is literally the death knell for upcoming Treasure Auctions: The U.S. is on a runaway spending binge and will be punished for such behavior by global bond investors requiring higher interest rates to take our increasingly Junk status debt. Finance 101, and those flocking from stocks to bonds will be burnt badly, it is a global market not dependent on U.S. investors.

However, that doesn't mean we will not have a near re-test of the lows in long-term interest rates as the markets take a double-dip over the next two years. To the best analyst (and trade implementer) goes the spoils.I personally like low-end Detroit Real Estate for rental income, or U.S. Dollar cash at this time.
