We have to distinguish the short term and the long term. I think about two months ago, I turned quite positive for US Treasuries.
But obviously long term, at less than 3 percent yield on a 10 year US Treasury, I don't see any value. I think that interest rates over time will be much higher because the fiscal deficit will stay very elevated or even increase and that will impair the ability of the government to pay the interest. If the ability to pay the interest is impaired, there's only one way out and that is for them to print money, and so eventually you will get higher interest rates. - in LewRockwell.com
