    When you factor in pension obligations, just how bad are the debt profiles of individual countries? Trust me, you don't want to know...

    Unlike economics, Wildland Fire Science is actually a science. Unlike economists, normal people actually know what the future holds. Debt matters, deleveraging is a bitch, and economist religious rituals ensure our destruction will be more severe and complete than any conceivable alternative. Beware the inevitable conflagration resulting from high levels of debt, followed by extended low interest rates.

November 5 CDS Heatmap

Tyler Durden's picture
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 11/06/2009 10:37 -0500



Mixed CDS action yesterday, with credit predominantly flat even as equities melted (molted?)-up. Discussions with fixed income traders indicate a predominantly bearish posture yet nobody is willing to stand against the Fed and the Druckmaschinen imports. Where is a man with Soros-size balls when you need him? Alas, that "man" just may end up being China, which would either buy the balance of the IMF gold package (and damn soon) or leave the indirect bid hanging.

Even with minor hiccup last week, the QE seems to be keeping DX charts in very happy little channel with 50dma apparently the upper limit.

Can't see why china would take a run at it on purpose. Isn't their plan to acquire gold quietly and divert attention from the shrinking greenback? An H-bomb dropped on the Fed seems like only something Iran would try to pull (and can't).
