Loading ...You don’t understand sir. You are going to have to just stay inside your blue tarp tent. If you don’t have one, one will be provided for you. 
Speaking of grocery carts, my honey has informed me that many of the grocery stores she goes to have installed electrical locking devices on the carts and that a certain distance from the store the lock kicks in and the wheels won’t turn …
….and I’ve been living on the street since 2030…..and now you’re giving me a free house to stay in too? …..but would you kindly tell me my new address and how to get there?……and do I have to come out in a week? …and I hope there’s room there to park my shopping cart…. YUP, I think I’m gonna like this “you’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy” Sir. Thankyou Thankyou!
Who wants to buy an older lower rate bond when the new bonds have higher rates?
The Diff is in what u pay for the Bond…..that makes up for the difference in rates…..Say u have a $ 1 million bond paying 5 %, but rates are now 10 % and 5 yrs left to run …..the annual 5% Loss would be made up in how much u pay in cash….u would pay less $ 750,000 tks to compounding on the capital amount …. ((1 million* 5 %) * 5 ) = $250,000. So u get back the $ 1 million plus 5 yrs at 5 % = $ 250,000 = $ 1,250,000….but u only paid out $ 750,000 which = $ 500,000, which is 10 % on $ 1 million over 5 yrs.
It should not be a problem…..the problem comes when rates rise, then if u sell early before the maturity date, u get a capital loss…see above and therefore buyers run away from bear mkts….worse than in any other kind of mkt, because of that risk…if u run to maturity u get no capital hit….but u get an opportunity hit…u lost interest .
You don’t sound proud of our leadership! That’ll be five social demerits on your score. You can’t go out of your house for a week!
….. with a lot of other P.O.S. and found myself thinking “I wish someone would flush that thing”!!
Musta been a dream! :o(
MEGHAN MCCAIN: Only Joe Biden could turn a harmless photo-op with Obama into an embarrassing disaster. Here’s why the video of our confused commander-in-chief should frighten us all
I’m no Bond pro, but they say the Bond purchasing prices or values of the Bonds go up if the later issued bonds have a lower interest rate. Opposite if rates go up. Your older bond with a lower rate, has to be sold at a loss. Who wants to buy a lower interest Bond? Unless you get a discount on that Bond.
So if the Fed bought bonds at higher rates, the Bonds gained value as rates dropped. So when they bought the Bonds, and drove rates lower, they drove their profits or Bond values higher on the previously bought higher interest Bonds. So to me it looks like a no brainer fraudulent short play (inside information) as they bought bonds that gained value as rates dropped.
So they are cashing out profits?? And Bond guys out there? What do you think? I’ve never seen any news on this. Re Fed profits and losses on bonds. When they raised rates to 21% in the ’70s they must have been SELLING new Bonds that paid higher rates. And those Bonds LOST value as they raised the rates. Literally losing money every time they sold bonds. Who wants to buy an older lower rate bond when the new bonds have higher rates?
Maybe inflation hits the juniors harder?
I think their weakness is more a sign that the general public are no where near these shares, what we have seen is some institutional buying of the majors, as the institutions take some protection and that has barely started.
“Maybe inflation hits the juniors harder?”
Yeah or maybe the lack of financial resources in general. If money does really get tight then that’ll hurt em.
HighGold’s been a disappointment that’s for sure. I’m holding on to it for now. Hopefully they come out with some new monster holes.
I’m out for a bit.
Yeah, a little ugly especially for the smaller shares. I’ve been holding AXU for quite some time and that’s gotten hammered. That High Gold I bought went straight down 20% starting the next day.
Maybe inflation hits the juniors harder?

10 yr. firmly above 2.63%
Looks like Bill Gross is right, the economy (SM) doesn’t handle rates above 2.5% very well.
Fed minutes come out today, can’t imagine they have too much important to say.
When I was in school , 3/4 of a century ago , we were taught that those racial groups made up the pre-Norman British Isles .
More recently I learned that there was land between Britain and Scandinavia , now submerged after the ice age melt .
Pict well now that makes sense.
It’s good he could trace it to apparently the highlands. I’m not sure about mind because it was both with the Stewart’s.
I just know the colors mostly red and the coat of arms looked like my grandfather had. That and their general life span perhaps the same as pict he died a bit young like my brother. If I follow the average life span and going back to the 1800s for more recent life span I don’t have much time left myself.
