Corrected--2yr-10yr Yield Spread Says Time For A Bond Sell-off Pause

You don't find much from Rosenberg here in our little corner of the www, he would not change his mind after it became apparent what the Fed was doing so all his fine doom-n-gloom arguments were moot and he ended up costing Gluskin's clients a lot of opportunity over the last 4 1/2 years.
But he's right on this. 10-year yield 2.90% down .01 and off quite a few basis points from the 2.98% of Sept. 5.
