Everyone should invest in government bonds...

They should. Doing so has made me a lot of money. And if you tell me this will blow up in my face, then study Japan. We've got a LOT more time (as in 10+ years) before this trade (ie. long US Treasuries) blows up.

Japan is a historical anomaly.

When .gov pounces on 401Ks and pensions and trades them without consent for T bonds those bonds won't be worth shit.

I think there is a Greek word for that, it's called MyRA.

Fuck me, Tyler, that is some cutting-edge investigative journalism you got yourself going there. Do you think it might be this guy?

Everyone should withdraw their support of a broken system.

Either you have a plan, or you are apart of someone else's...

Actually, its the 401-Ks that will be worth crap.

Those samuai bonds in yen  terms s made a little of people beyond belief rich.

 

In 1983 the yen was at 440 to the dollar.

 

Forget US treasuries....imagine having bought and held that debt to maturity!

 

US equities still offer by far the best return on capital however.  There simply is no other country where you can start pounding out widgets like it was nothing.

Would you mind clarifying what decade you're calling from?

What did you buy? 30 year back in 1981?

If America can keep this nonsense going for 10 more years (without the USD dropping like a stone against real assets) I'll eat my hat.

(checks to see he has an edible hat, just in case. TPTB are amazingly good at this can-kicking bullshit)

Third bubble...

Everyone should "eat" and have a "job" to pay for "bubbles" 1, 2 and 3!

So many bubbles, so little time. It's a malinvestment paradise.
