Really? 2.5% bonds in a 7% inflation environment is an attractive bargain?

This part didn’t compute:

bonds aren't currently yielding north of 10%. If they are currently at 2.5% (using your number, not to pick on you, but it is what I have at hand), then move to a 10% yield, the people who bought at 2.5% get a haircut.
