10 year t-notes (4.34%) have the same yield as a 6 month t-note.
There is officially zero reason to risk money on the long term status of the US economy.
Convergence is bad; the economy is about to flip.

(Dec 28 05, 14:36)Clearly your bi-yearly investment takes into account yesterday's developments...
Some of us understand finance. Some of us do not. Try to justify the 10-year t bill at the same yield as a 6 month bill - yield is a reward for risk, and when the yield doesn't change despite a 20x difference in time (= risk), there's clearly something unusual going on.
For the record, the last time this convergence occured was late 2000. We all know what happened to the economy in spring 2001.

the US economy cratered in 2001 because everyone and their dog stuck 20 billion into any company with web or tech in their title.
only a few of those dot coms survived.
