Post-Lehman Deja Vu As T-Bill Yields Turn Negative

The last time Bill yields turned negative (in essence investors paying the Government to hold their money for them) was in the days after the Lehman bankruptcy, when the entire world was about to blow up. So why did Bill yield for January maturity just turn negative once again? In other words, why are investors suddenly running for the hills? As Dow Jones reports, January and February bills hit a yield of -0.03% earlier. Some explanations have to do with Bill scarcity, as nobody wants to be exposed to anything beyond 3 months down the curve, let alone 1 year. However, the fact that bond investors may not be buying into the whole recovery BS (or just realize that there is nobody willing to roll near-dated treasurys into longer-tenor pieces of paper) and are once again running scared and willing to pay Ben Bernanke to hold their money for them should be very, very troubling. Additionally, could there be something more pressing and/or catalytic? We have not heard peep from any of the big banks in a while...

Even more surprisingly, the 1-3 month bill curve has also gone negative, indicating that there is something veru much awry with demand along the Treasury curve.

This is a dangerous set of conditions that appear to be coming together at once. An it appears likely to lead to another deflationary phase of the economic collapse that is well in process and is irreversible simply because there is more debt than can ever be re-paid.

It looks like you're doing what I did and adding the web part to the main blog page. Instead, view one of the posts on your blog page, and replace the New Comment web part on that page with the anonymous web part.
