...What's abnormal today is how low long-term rates have remained, explained at least in part by China's and Japan's historic demand for Treasury bonds. Absent unprecedented foreign demand, Treasury bond yields likely would be well above short-term yields today-and Chicken Little would have no audience. That's not to say the yield curve won't invert again, and grow more pronounced. If it does, be warned. But we're not at the breaking point today, and may not get there for years...

Another note is directed toward Waters, thanking him for his generosity. Waters, like Ballmer, is absent from the donor list on the Challenge Fund website. The list does, however, refer to an anonymous donor from the Class of 1968 who established an Innovation Fund. Waters graduated in 1968. He did not return a phone call and e-mail requesting comment yesterday. The suggested note to Waters reads...
