      Friday's Bond Outlook: Bursting of the Treasury Security Bubble? (Update)
      Direxions and ProFunds both have Treasury short funds. Direxions is 2.5 times.

      SWRichmond - As John mentions, the Treasury auctioned off $40 billion in securities earlier this week that still may be running through the system. Such a huge auction dilutes current supply in the market, driving price down.

      It could very well also be loss of confidence, but there really isn't anywhere else to go...

      The Cramer Crash?
      I agree, what did he think he was going to do by saying that in such a public arena. He also published an article in NY Magazine yesterday - as noted in another Seeking post.

      Gold Is Set to Regain Its Shine
      dlaw, analyze what you said. People need money and the easiest way to do that is to PRINT it. When money is printed, its supply increases and the paper money is worth less. Expand your time horizon and consider the mess the United States is in financially and you should certainly come up with a different response.

      Is the Dollar Safe?
      Great comment by Chris B. He is right on target. Last Friday's announcement that the People's Bank was undercapitalized was a precursor to Sunday's bailout. The way to get that capital back is to increase the value of the holdings, AKA bailout Fannie and Freddie so there will actually be buyers returning to the market.

      Bailouts Slope: Slippery, and Expensive
      How can you make the case that the bailout was directed for PIMCO when the Chinese hold trillions of dollars of Agency debt and have the clout to push us around?

      The US Treasury Gave $10bn (and Maybe More) to China
      At this point, both countries have too much to lose in having bad relations. On par with all comments so far though, America has more to lose than China. What is alarming right now though, is that there is very little incentive for anyone to buy our debt, so it is going to get more expensive and put us further in the hole. Let's just hope they do not try to cash out, because then that hole will end up being our grave.

      Unintended Consequences of the Fannie / Freddie Bailout
      Invest into what temporary bubble? Last I checked, nothing had been doing well.

      The $64 Trillion Question: What's the Dollar Really Worth?
      Good piece. However, I do not completely agree about the US workforce losing productivity because of demographics. Yes this country is getting older, but it is also being pushed into a position where jobs are less and less being taken for granted. When the pressure is on, people will do all they can to keep their job - harder work equals better productivity. Additionally, Mexicans' work ethic is widely known. As they increasingly immigrate into this country, this should help productivity, not hurt it.

      Chesapeake Energy Called the Market's Bluff
      Compare a chart of Nat Gas for the last five years and the stocks of CHK and EOG. The positive correlation is very high, so no matter how good or bad these hedging gains or losses are, share prices are still going to resemble what is going on with gas prices.

      Playing Games? GameStop Slides Despite Strong Q1
      I actually think it will be the opposite. The main product hardware cycle may be COMING to an end, but it isn't over. Moreover, hardware margins are much lower than software, especially that of the used product. As more games roll out, margins will increase making the stock more attractive.

      Is Apple a Better Stock Than Google?
      Google has positioned itself in many different internet and technology areas, but they have yet to find a way to make those profitable. As soon as they discover this, they will surpass Apple, especially if another company is able to disrupt Apple's current products.

      Wake Up America, You’re Sinking
      I have lived in Europe and America, albeit America for much longer and there are pros and cons to both countries. I agree with the sentiment of the article, but I hope we are able to right the ship before it's too late. If these Olympics have taught us anything, it is that the will of the people can overwhelm the political barriers we find ourselves constantly debating.
