How can this possibly be true? (1) deflation (assuming the world isn't also deflating) means a higher real rate in US vs the world, therefore a...
It's unlikely the treasury will upsize the auction; it might downsize; announcements tend not to move the market.
Even that's not true is it? Deflation is hugely problematic for industrial economies. For evidence, see all the US recessions (under their old...
Maybe.... but it doesn't take a lot of due diligence to figure out that no one would be able to show they held billions of treasury bonds this...
zdreg is right; reverse splits and splits doesn't change the value of your holdings; issuance and buy backs do.
And risk the auction come thru and gap up 10 ticks? no thanks
I believe they were all converted into electronics form a long while back. Maybe these guys are duping some sort of savings bond coupon that were...

How does that work? I mean, regardless of whether you think QE is a good idea or not (which you clearly don't; and I don't either), how is GS...
Milton Friedman didn't disagree with this either; In any case, why don't you go back to that momentum thread; that's probably a little more of...
(1) Why do think the demand for UST will now not remain if rates go up to 3%? (1b), When the Fed does hike rates, everyone who bot the USTs at...
Of course, you are right; but growth in consumption -> rise in aggregate demand -> growth;
I'm not sure you grasp how the treasury bond market and issuance work. It simply doesn't work the way you think it does; First off, US treasury...
US Dollar is the reserve currency (and until such time that another currency actually credibly supplements the dollar rather than vague...
When no one wants to buy US Govt debt except the Fed, the world at large would have already been reduced to sporadic settlements of survivalists...
... in a shit hole compared to what? Export countries do not benefit from having a strong currency vs the dollar. And why would the Fed be...
