• Armstrong Economics: Entering Phase II of The Debt Crisis

    Phinance's phavorite political prisoner, Martin Armstrong, cautions that "the EU is in dire position", on the precipice of shattering. Since "debts will never be paid and interest expenditures are the greatest transfer of wealth in history ... Western society is falling apart ... If we do not act, civil unrest will explode. The current choice is DEFAULT or HIGHER TAXES & CIVIL UNREST ... Someone has to step forward to save us or we may be doomed. It's time to wake up for this is the future of our children and their children at stake. "

  • Europe's Commercial Real Estate Timebomb?
    Leo Kolivakis
    03/19/2010 - 17:00
    Europe faces a commercial property debt timebomb with almost €1 trillion (£896bn) outstanding from the sector and a quarter of that potentially distressed. The UK accounts for 34% of the €970bn total, with Germany second with 24%. Not to worry, global pension funds are busy snapping up properties but do they really know how long it will be before this crisis blows over? And what if it gets a lot worse before it gets better? Are pensions prepared to deal with those losses?

The Fed has run out of cash? Interns slept at GS? Is the sky is starting to fall? >4% yield is a big change from the summer theme

No from what I can tell. The higher the long term bonds ramp up relative to the short term bonds the more likely it is that interest rates on a number of things will have to rise in the future. It has been ramping hard till they took the super short bonds up just a bit in interest.

The bond market always seems to know where the economy is heading. It's like it has access to our bank account information and tax returns. Oh wait. It TOTALLY does.

Has someone kept trace of the last driblets of above-board QE? What remains that can be used to relieve the dealers of this cusip?

It's one of the many, much appreciated things that Tyler does.

Yes, the QE data is much appreciated, and the $5.6B could be completely gone anyday.

What did the lady say,"During the S&L crisis there were 1000 Federal indictments with only 3000 Savings and Loans."  When will someone indict the writers of the MBS?  Can a democracy do otherwise than reflect the values of its People?

I don't understand the slip sliding reference or the "bond market doesn't like these results" analysis.  30-yr. is trading in secondary at 3.98, the yield came in at essentially 4.01 versus an expected 4.00, and is trading way above par at 108. 

What part of the results indicates the bond markets portend a dim future?  I'm not being rhetorical, I simply can't read the tea leaves clearly, as I see no particluar doom in this report. 

(BTW, thanks for keepin' 'em coming, TD)

OK, but wait, isn't this just an example of the Fed failing to tlak down the market enough in advance of this auction?  Stocks are up, so wouldn't we expect treasuries to be down?

2.37 ratio? Were we not in the 3's last couple of months? Sounds like a weakening market

More meaningful than the bid to cover is the yield range as you may have a lot of PDs bidding that don't actually want to buy, a 184bp range seems like quite a lot.
