$35 Billion 5 Year Auction Prices At 2.041%, Monetization Of Primary Dealer Takedown To Occur On February 9

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Today's $35 billion 5 Year auction closed at a 2.97 Bid to Cover, the second highest following the 3.06 in July of 2010. The bond priced 2 bps inside of the When Issued indicating a substantial interest. The high yield dropped marginally from the last auction which came at 2.041% (29.85% allotted at high), with Indirect Bidders taking down a substantial portion of the auction or 45.0% a major jump from the prior 35.6%. Still there was a little change in the hit rate on the Indirect bid which was 76.6% compared to 80% last time. Altogether just another auction: there are many more to go. We are confident primary dealers will monetize roughly 30% of their allocation at the first opportunity, which will be on the February 9 02/15/2015 – 07/31/2016 POMO.

Notice the WSJ article on rising food prices being blamed on "specualtors" instead of BB's money printing? If you fail to allocate your capital per the directives of the Fascist Federal Reserve, you'll be labeled a speculator.

Wait until you are labeled an enemy of the state.

Almost there.

We are rapidly moving from the sublime to the ridiculous. Nothing to see here, move along.

Right about the time the first projected SLP drawdown occurs?  Should be a banger V-day, culminating with a Ben/Sack/Geithner toast: gentlemen, to evil.

CD: nice post over the weekend.  I've haven't historically been in the comments much, but noticed a shift over the last few months.  Exaustion?  Perhaps.  This is a marathon, which favors the intractable state.  However, it is not perfectly intractable.

Thank you. I was delighted to see so many veterans peek out from the shadows and declare they are still here. I found myself smiling again and again as I recognized one old face after another perk up and comment.

Bravo everyone. Family first, then community....virtual or otherwise.

As I've read Zh over the past 9 months or so, the daily reporting of debt sales finally started to kick in.

See this and freak out and then come back... I did

http://www.usdebtclock.org/

That is it. The madness, visualized, real. See small business assets and corporate assets shrinking in value, fast.... the writing on the wall, clear as day!

This is how the world runs. This is how the debt fueled world runs/burns. Always living in tomorrow, next year, 10 years out. Knows that fiat is always inflating, deflation is always a temperory correction, so always inflating. IRR/NPV.... would drive both lender and borrower crazy. PErpetual cognitive dissonance on both sides.

Totally nuts! Totally freaking nuts.

The Supply Side World of finance and industry has destruction built into it's fabric. No other way it can survive, because there is NO such thing as infinite growth.

Feels like an AHA moment!

Thanks Zh and all you awesome commentators...

This puts it in perspective:

"The national debt is a big number, but it isn't excessive. On a relative basis, the federal debt burden has hardly changed over the past 20 years. In fact, while the absolute amount of debt has ballooned, the percentage of the federal budget spent servicing that debt has actually decreased. That's right: in 2009, net interest payments on the debt decreased from the year before, and the overall percentage the U.S. spends to service its debt (currently less than 3% of GDP) is lower than it was in the late 1980s and most of the 1990s."

On a relative basis? Nothing relative about compound interest Harry. I don't buy it. IF your statement is true, it is so because of some accounting gimmick. 

Einstein was a dimwit on physics but he sure as hell understood all about God and the power of compound interest.

AR Newswire.

Tonight in the state of the union address, it was announced that a deposit of rare hopium was discovered that was so large that it will save the US from one of the largest economic debt bubbles in the history of the world.   An expert advisor commented after the ground breaking speech that the hopium deposit is so vast that future generations of Americans will indeed be saved from a bankrupt federal government, insolvent states/cities, unsustainable pension/healthcare systems, and collapsing real estate markets.

The financial markets applauded the announcements as the hopium is reported to be so pure as corporate taxes will be reduced even in the presence of desires to radically cut exploding federal deficits.   The first recipiants of the hopium will be the new and completely reformed US banking system which will bolster confidence in continuing profits and salaries.

The fringe element known as Citizens Against Global Hopium Depletion, derided the announcement noting that they are making progress with a chemical process that will transform common sea water into a usable synthetic hopium.  Hence, the limited real hopium in the earths crust should be preserved for future generations to use in earnest.  

Finally, NASA announced that they will annotate the discovery by launching a new geosynchronous satellite over the US that is shaped like Sputnik and made almost entirely of irradiated hopium.   The satellite will be a beacon of light in the sky that will inspire future generations.

Well, at least there are a few rules. They gotta hold that crap for 2 weeks. Good thing things aren't beginning to spin out of control.

Just keep in mind that treasuries are the most reviled asset class other than collecting Hitler dingleberries or Stalin toe jam even when signed and authenticated. A brokerage guy said even the mainstream investor doesnt want them treasuries. He posted here recently. Its something to think about.
