Electric Bear

My portfolio has been on Death Row for some time and all I'm asking for is a fair trial!  

1.88% yield on SPY vs. 2.71% on the 10-Year US Treasurys.  

Are the Market Makers essentially saying that anything is better than government bonds and will I have to endure two more years of trying to sell into a market top that keeps breaking higher?

With September NYSE Margin Debt surpassing 2007 levels, it shouldn't be too long before the margin calls start hitting the street.
