I Personally Think The Treasury Market, The Long-Dated, Are A Bubble

I personally think the Treasury market (NYSE:TLT), the long-dated, are a bubble and it will be one of the worst investments for the longer term if you buy a 10-year, a 30-year U.S. Treasury so I’m a bit puzzled that Treasuries are now yielding, are essentially near record lows. I would rather sell Treasuries. - in WallStCheatSheet
