    • Josh Krause: Depends on how they do it. If they go for the Super Twist and just buy every long bond that is printed, TBT would be crushed.

    • 1980XLS-2.0: Do you actually expect them to service $18T in debt with new taxation?

    • Josh Krause: Best part is they will have to buy it at cheaper and cheaper interest rates to allow for the debt to be serviced. Japan here we come!

    • Josh Krause: Except when we QE for eternity, Oil goes superbid and the world moves off the dollar as the Reserve Currency. Debt is death.

    • Edgar Ambartsoumian: Bret is there a link between a higher dollar and TBT's drop in your opinion?
      3/2/12
    • Bret Jensen: Actually I would say the opposite. Strong dollar gives investors better reason to invest in U.S. debt as reduces currency loss probability.
