This (or is it last?) Saturday was my first Pro-Self Conference, and let me assure you, definitely not the last. Why? ‘Cause I loved it! I loved every single thing about it: the atmosphere, the people, the speakers, the organizer (Kate Panfilova, who is simply amazing!) 🤍

The price of the 10-year Treasury note fell Friday, sending its yield up to 2% from a March closing low of 1.73%. The news also helped traders look past another report showing decades-high inflation and shake off some of the volatility from recent sessions.
