Sunday Afternoon

Watching the best of the 90s marathon today -things definitely worth re-hashing: The Dream Team absolutely annihilating the "competition". Don't think we'll ever see anything like it - Michael, Magic, Bird, Barkley...the list goes on and on. That 92 olympics was probably the single greatest international competition ever as far as entertainment value. Maybe combine a few world cups to earn a respectable second behind the DT.

Seems like the 10-year is overbought - the fact that the fed is likely to pause in August seems to have made people forget that they do have meetings scheduled beyond August, and at this point I wouldn't bet against another increase before we get a drop.
