re: Bessent is considering throwing nearly $1 trillion into bond market intervention

Well yields are down today but that is based on reports traffic is moving through SOH and oil prices lowering. Maybe this news helped some too but honestly if oil comes down the yield will be manageable again.
Funny how no one bitched about bond yields when they were higher at almost 5% in 2023.

I hope you're directing this at Scott Bessent and not stout.

Right, that isn’t directed at Stout. More so at other knee jerk reactions over yields.

IDK how it's a knee-jerk reaction

The mitigating news is that we are in the same boat as China and Russia as well as the Europeans.

History compresses things. Things that happened slowly look more sudden in the rear view.

Fair point

Seems likely to me that we have long passed the point where there is ANY position we could take that would not be deemed "precarious" and that could possibly "go sideways very, very quickly," no?

But listen to Nick Gurleys data which says 2008 is gonna happen to housing but worse
And you are again calling it a correction after saying this

How’s it’s not failed at 40 trillion in debt?
The USD is still the skinniest kid at Fat Camp, but that can last only so long while Congress keeps over-indulging.
Essentially the USD has failed as GDP has started to become dependent on high deficit spending (ie: a step beyond being addicted to government spending in general) and there's no political will to fix it because of the economic issues just balancing the budget would cause (much less generating enough revenue to have a surplus).
It's not a matter of "if" any longer, but "when".

Your willingness to let your hatred for one or two people make you ignore data is fascinating
Nick may say hyperbolic things, but the data his app compiles is one of many I follow. I read CoreLogic, ATTOM, MBA, and a few others pretty religiously. Nick's app is not in that category, but it still has some very good information if you go into it with a willingness to form your own analysis. That might be hard for you, though.

You know you don’t have to post in threads where you lack the requisite knowledge to intelligently weigh in just to defend the admin. It’s OK to not post and have us forget for at least a brief moment how low IQ you are.

Another trillion right to the top to cover tens of trillions in bad bets. 2008 was only the warm up. US is bankrupt and will default in our lifetimes.
But FIRST, we need another trillion to bail out the Too Big Too Fail AGAIN…

How can it be good informatuon if hes been wrong about everythibg for years
You tell everyone to buy assests then say housing will have a correction which is just you masking what you want to claim which is a major crash like 08 like Nick has said for the last decade
