Nobody is buying the garbage and its still at rock bottom prices plus they are signing away federal land and properties as collateral. The economy is already smoked. Just waiting for the big gears to grind down. If you take a critical look at the numbers, optimism is simply not an option. The depression is absolute and guranteed. |

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 11204943 Portugal 02/21/2012 01:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — Treasury prices declined Tuesday, pushing 10-year yields to their highest levels in more than two months as the euro zone’s long-delayed second bailout package to Greece won approval. Still, analysts said the decline was limited because of concerns about the long-term viability of the plan, as well as the possible effects on other indebted European countries. Bonds stayed down after the government’s auction of 2-year notes /quotes/zigman/4868354/delayed 2_YEAR +5.71% . Yields on 10-year notes /quotes/zigman/4868283/delayed 10_YEAR +3.29% , which move inversely to prices, rose 7 basis points to 2.07%. The securities haven’t closed above 2.06% since early December. A basis point is one-hundredth of a percentage point. Thirty-year yields /quotes/zigman/4868063/delayed 30_YEAR +2.03% increased 7 basis points to 3.21%. Five-year yields /quotes/zigman/4868109/delayed 5_YEAR +6.08% added 6 basis points to 0.92%, their highest level on a closing basis in about two months. “Treasurys were under pressure overnight on the Greek bailout, but admittedly the market is trading better on the news than we might otherwise have expected,” said David Ader and Ian Lyngen, bond strategists at CRT Capital Group. For the longer term, they said, “the obvious risk is that Greece could still need additional bailouts or restructuring.” In a marathon meeting Monday, finance ministers and other top European officials agreed to provide up to 130 billion euros ($171.9 billion) of extra financial aid to Greece. Private-sector bondholders will take a haircut of more than 53% on around €200 billion worth of privately held Greek government debt, and Europe’s national central banks agreed to forgo any profits on their holdings of government bonds.

The best part is, is that we are now going down the Greek Road. And just like Greece has been doing, we will continue to do. The only difference is that we have the World Reserve Currency, and once the ME is done with us, as Iran is, we can kiss the dollars value goodbye. We're not to far away.

Jump Room 2012 User ID: 4141930 United States 02/21/2012 06:06 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | High yield means low prices. If a bond is seen as strong you have to pay 97 cents for a dollar return, give or take, or even more, for "security". Highest yield means fewer people have confidence in the government's ability to pay back the loan (the bond). Smart people get confused, so don't fret... Look up inverted yield curve and you will get a good schoolin'. Greek bonds have a huge return (OVER 500 percent) because people demand a lot of interest from a suspected deadbeat.
