A Christmas story

Despite the pop up of the 2-year Treasury to a new recent high yield of 0.64%, then back down, I decided to add the TIP ETF (Treasury Inflation fund), which is actually at its recent lows of 112 -110 being the low in 2013 after the December 2012 multiyear high of 123. No Inflation worries now, although Deflation can be even scarier!.  Other notable Indicators were the Gold Commercial shorters rising up again, and Money Market additions went to recent highs - $25B. The  VIX jumped to 21 last week and the CBOE put to call ratio also jumped up to 72 - Bullish FOR the markets.
