How dull can a market get? In April, nobody wanted to buy stocks and nobody wanted to sell, at least nobody but the program gang and dividend passers.
Bond Market Summary
The first week of April brought a lethargic rally in T-bonds, but prices faded fast around mid-month, stabilized for a week and then sold off again at month end.
Joke of the Month
Walter Deemer came through with an old economist joke with a new twist. Unfortunately, nobody in the office laughed. The winner is an Ole & Lena joke courtesy of Dick Perkins of Perkins Capital Management.
Scanning the Markets
It was a very dull month in our world of sectors, just as it was for the stock market as a whole.
The Historical Relationship of Bond Yields to Stock Yields
This is the first of our studies presenting historical relationships between stock market valuations and bond yields. Herein we compare bond yields to common stock dividend yields in terms of a ratio.
The Price of High Risk Debt
