Yearning for Yields and Earnings
Check out the current yields to maturities on bonds. The numbers are all annualized:
Yields drop with longer durations. Generally, longer durations have higher yields (to compensate for the greater risk). But that is not the case in this market.

The Corporate Bond with a 1.9% yield. This is probably due to the illiquidity of the market.
We continue to lean toward the market with its abundant opportunities in equities. If you choose to invest in bonds, opt for those with shorter durations. For interest-rate products offering the "most bang for the buck," those shorter-duration CDs would be our top pick.
