Like I said, I was busy.  But wow, you’re so informed. What did you click on to make this great discovery? 

I was busy this AM as well. Look at us two busy guys! 

Here’s a tip for you. When someone posts something you don’t understand, do a quick search or even them ask what they mean. It doesn’t make you look stupid.

Well, my comment about it being a great post was you saying “interesting”.  Very puzzy of you, and quite insightful. Thanks! So up or down?

Who knows. That’s why it will be interesting. Are you ok after this shoveling?

Probably down would be my guess. Europe maybe gives us an idea on Monday then US pre-market early Tues morn.

I would be good if we had a temporary pullback.  I have some distributions coming from my S-Corp I need to rebalance into some equities.  The cheaper the buy point the better.

If say, the owner of the Bears this morning decided to say bench Caleb Williams because he thought he stole his lunch from the fridge at the cafeteria, that might be something that was interesting.

I don’t know. I said it would bust a few years ago and was wrong. Way wrong. But at least I put it out there.  Now I don’t say nothin. Either do you.  Down isn’t a prediction.

I put my money in, I have some bets here and there but I don’t pretend to know when it will go bust especially when dealing with the man baby and his whims. To do that wouldn’t be smart unless you really just want to gamble.

Over the course of a couple years it is going to go up is my mindset as I plan on working and not using the vast majority of this for about 5 more years. So there’s my long term prediction, up.

Futures down 700.

Looks like the taco trade is gone for now.

Will only get worse if Europe starts selling treasuries as is rumored.

The “sell America” trade is in full swing Tuesday morning after President Donald Trump and European leaders escalated tensions over Greenland.

U.S. bond prices tumbled, sending yields spiking. The U.S. Dollar Index
, which weighs the greenback against a basket of six foreign currencies, fell nearly 1% on Tuesday. The euro jumped 0.7% against the dollar.

“This is ‘sell America’ again within a much broader global risk off,” Krishna Guha, head of global policy and central banking strategy at Evercore ISI, wrote in a note to clients.

It's starting...

Danish pension fund to sell $100 million in Treasurys, citing ‘poor’ U.S. government finances

[Ron_Artest 2,822]

10 year jumped.

This is the same sh1t that happened after liberation day.  Bessent is talking to whatever allies we have left and asking them not to sell treasuries.

When this happened before Trump chickened out and the market rebounded.

Is Trump gonna chicken out again or are we headed for a collapse?

'Poor' US government finances ?

They're only noticing this now ?

Our nation's finances have been poor & getting poorer for the past 4 decades.

Bonds are debt. If your bonds are shitt you get less interest on them. How am I doing?

No when you buy a bond the interest rate is fixed.  The price goes up or down.

Anyway, inflation, interest rates, mortgage rates, value of USD, etc

That’s if no one buys them if you sell, correct? So the other large holders of your bonds would be better off if they got bought, right?

How can no one buy something that you sell?

When there are more sellers than buyers, the price goes down, the rate goes up, inflation goes up, etc.
