So why is US govt, trading at sub 5% coupons?
Sub-5% and going down daily. All this while the Asians are "dumping" our debt? Something doesn't add up, does it?
Treasurys are declining because it is deemed safer than most other debt out there, including all the mortgage-backed stuff held by the Asian nations. Sounds like they're screwed!
We're in some unique economic times, that's for sure, but its not the calamity many are claiming it is. I swear, I'm surprised so many Freepers love to post bad news that they think signals doom is just around the corner. What a way to go through life.

Some Freepers believe that sexual pleasure is wrong, and sinful, even in the confines of marriage.
Therefore, they get off on economic turmoil, or what they THINK will be economic turmoil. Somehow, it’s orgasmic for them.

These kinds of folks don't last long, but always seemed to be replaced. Wonder how the Prudent Bear fund's been doing the past 3 years.
