Welcome to the 9Innings Podcast where we Educate, Empower and Engage.

ON THIS WEEKS PODCAST: Kevin talks about what is happening in the government securities markets. Yields are approaching 5% in short maturities and 4% in the longer dated securities. Higher yields mean "possible" tough sledding ahead for equity markets given the fact that risk free rates are providing higher returns.
