The problem with vehicles that run on other than gasoline - electric, natural gas/propane, hydrogen (fuel cells) - can not be fueled at present by an existing infrastructure, such as your local gas station. So, in addition to paying a premium for such vehicles, one has also to consider fueling options.

Bond Expert: Wednesday Outlook http://seekingalpha.com/article/86460-bond-expert-wednesday-outlook?source=feed#comment-212848 212848 "I would also point to the breakeven level on TIPS. I follow the breakeven on the 10 year TIP with great interest. As I write this that spread is trading at 239 basis points. That is about mid range of the broad 220 /260 range which has prevailed for several years. So there is danger signal there."

I hold TIPS. Should I sell?
