Bond Expert Thursday Wrap: The Risk-Aversion Premium

With ;the ongoing and future funding, these returns are for the suckers. Inflation is just a stones throw away if precious metal pricing lately is telling you anything. I'm looking for 5 percent money market, 10 percent one year and 15 percent 5 year notes. MarvinMBA

Bond Expert: Wednesday Wrap

The least that Uncle should do if he has to be the borrower is to at least cover the inflation rate by giving an interest rate that makes sense plus a small increment....when I went to MBA school the 5 year rate was always described as 3 percent plus the inflation rate...we certainly should be looking for a 5 year rate of over 5 percent right now for government paper...and Uncle probably will not collect a penny back on its give-away subsidy ...the buyers of treasuries are suckers IMHO because were looking at super iinflation and you are going to lose valuation as you are forced to hold to maturity...MarvinMBA

Bond Expert: Wednesday Wrap

Uncle is trying to keep long term rates and short term rates near zero so the USA can borrow your money for free and give to someone else.
Sounds inflationary to me...taking money out of your hands for free and giving it to someone else to spend. Who ever said there was no such thing as a free lunch. Your money is giving Uncle a free lunch and he will pass that free lunch on to your next door neighbor. Wow...I think the old saying that neither a lender or borrower be, but look, the Lender gives it away and the Borrower gets your money for free....yes, I want to be a borrower...it pays off in a big way. I never will pay back Uncle because I'm always going to need more and Uncle will find a reason to give it to me....so what do I have to loose...MarvinMBA
