Thanks anyway.
By the way, did you ever publicly fess up to that major FU?]]> Thu, 01 Jan 2009 13:08:04 -0500 If this prognostication is as inaccurate as your TBT guesses, then I'll pass.

Still think Lehman is going to pay a divi on this?]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/91860-how-about-this-for-a-hedge-combo-tbt-and-tlt?source=feed#comment-251706 251706 You've been advocating this for a long time.
And the way it's goin', TBT will be at Zero before the Long Bond rate gets there.
Right now the long bond is at 1960's rates, about 4%
But inflation is at 4 times 1960's rates, about 6% or much higher.
Real returns are big negative.
Does that mean I have to pay ProShares at divi time?
When Wall Street stops having "systemic collapse" panic attacks and stops using the long bond as their personal Money Market Fund maybe then rates will reflect inflation and generate positive REAL returns.
Does depression and bond default mean rates go to infinity.
That should make TBT very attractive.
When Lehman rolls over and dies, I hope to hell they don't steal TBT.

If I had my way I'd hold the little rodents, that way overbought, in servitude until such time as they paid off their debt. No BK outs.
Then I would put a bullet in the appropriate bankers that knew damned good and well what was going on. Too strong?
Try me.

I am damn tired of it. Guam, PuertoRico are territories and Hawaii was recently a territory. Our military is in place in Iraq. It's time to take Iraq. Unilaterally declare it as a territory. Nationalize the oil. Put a crushing stop to the violence. Impose stability, the rule of law, and a government.

It will help with our standard of living and Iran will be forced to cool it's jets. You can have your ethics, I want a standard of living worth living.]]> Fri, 09 May 2008 23:37:02 -0400
