That's ok guys. In this ponzi scheme of a banana republic, we too are having problems figuring out who is doing the buying, when the seller is the buyer is the seller ad inf.

Well, obviously the Treasury has to buy their issuance from a T-Bill wholesaler before reselling at retail to the Fed.

The higher interest rate on the latest batch simply reflects concerns about a possible T-Bill crop shortage due to recent heavy rains in one of the main T-Bill growing regions.

You guys really need to study basic sovereign-debt agriculture.

Bernanke & Geithner will warn CONgress that Great Depression II is imminent, all banks will fail, GDP will contract by 88%, and that everyone will die, if another blank check STIMULUS/TARP/TALF/QE seriers of programs are not authorized in the next 3 minutes.

The bad news is you bought in a declining market.  The good news is you found a buyer to unload the property.  Perhaps your accountant (KPG) could show some tax deductions in the transaction so you come out a winner.

As a side note - not sure if this was posted on ZH or not but - for the first month in history* the treasury paid less than 3% average for its debt in a given month:

http://www.treasurydirect.gov/govt/rates/pd/avg/2010/2010_12.htm

Average Interest Rate, on Total interest bearing Debt = 2.992%

* I would imagine - this particular data source only goes back to 2000.   Certainly it's the least since the 1950's, when 1-year was last below 2%.  From looking at various other places though, it appears that it may be indeed a record low.

That's funny!

Here's another interesting Marketwatch article:

http://www.marketwatch.com/story/harry-schultz-last-investment-testament...

This from a guy who remembers the last Great Depression:

“Stockman replied (to my huge surprise, coming from a former top government official) ‘Get some gold, beans, water, anything that Bernanke can’t destroy. Ron Paul is right. We’re entering a global monetary conflagration. If a sell-off of U.S. bonds starts, it will be an Armageddon.’”

If Fed years are unable to start then Treasury years are unable to begin.

Fed years are unable to begin.

Thus, Treasury years are unable to begin.
