    Re: 2016 US Presidential Election Sledging someone about where markets happen to be now makes about as much sense as sledging South Africa about how they were doing after Day One at the WACA.

    Re: The totally off-topic thread If you think a 22bp jump in the 10y UST yield is business as usual, you obviously have not been looking at these things as long as I have. Less than 24 hours after the results is not a particularly good time to be saying 'I told you so'.
