Great bond market today...........just ignore this...."Indirect bidders, a class of investors that includes foreign central banks, purchased 67.2 percent of the offering. They bought 33 percent at the May sale and an average of 33.2 percent at the past four sales"....and this "The central bank bought $3.249 billion of U.S. debt today, bringing to $180.724 billion the amount acquired since the operations began on March 25. Four more purchases are scheduled over the next two weeks." Just how stupid do the reporting agencies think we are? http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aGZF0wIxNHgA
All just one big ponzi scheme Ray, I would not have US Treasuries right now unless they were given to me. Straight up TIPS if anything.
Well, it would depend on how ruthless and daring one is, the FedGov will continue to sell Treasuries, the interest rates inevitably will rise, and rise rapidly as they plan on borrowing more and more. One could purchase now at incredilbly low rates and wait in view of that economic fact of life
Certainly but they will still have to offer Treasuries to private firms, there will be opportunities to buy low and watch the interest rates go up, up, up...
