Excellent, thanks Orwell. Was just thinking, given the external influences on interest rates, I wonder if looking at the very big picture might be an interesting exercise from a wave analysis perspective. I found this chart with a google search "US Bond all time chart" I have deliberately not read the article as I would be keen to get your take on it without clouding my judgement, purely from a wave perspective.

Do you get into any of this ultra long term stuff or not worth the time? It's certainly not something i'm interesting in positioning my portfolio with, given it would be easy to get timing wrong by years or decades, more so just an interesting exercise. I realise you wont be able to get exact measurements either, but do any counts stick out to you?
cheers
