| #1 A lot of us hold US T-bills. Viable companies should be going after same by issuing viable - vs "junk" - corporate bonds. The banks need re-financing and the new big equity holder - US Treasury - needs to sell off same. As long as a company is operating, bonds pay off. With better corporate disclosure legislation, investors can best determine where the smart money should go. |
