But you and I know hope is not a strategy. With that said, if you’re on a fixed income,  take a hard look at locking in some of today’s yields well into tomorrow. If you have lazy cash sitting around, sink your teeth into today’s yields.

Look at the middle part of this curve. Is it the best we’re going to see? I’m not in the prediction business. But you can generate a solid income stream right now. Because when rates are close to four percent, I’m paying attention. I think you should too.
