TREASURIES - THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING

 

No not a GIFT to the bond holder - Its a GIFT to the BORROWER the US Government!!!!!!!!!!!

 

At 2% interest with 2% inflation and 0.5 tax you are giving away 5% of you capital whenever you buy a new 10 year bond.

 

And yet people are still buying them all the time!!!!!

 

Bond need to pay 3% to compensate for inflation and tax and that is with a NIL return for the time value of money,

 

Add in a decent 3% return for the time value of money and 10 year bonds should be returning 6%.

The dealers are still buying, but they're getting less long in the futures. Almost short. They're still long, but moving toward a hedged position. Still, they are not prepared if this goes against them. There will be big losses, and that will exacerbate any price decline/yield rise.
