#2 Come right up and place your beats on the next American Civil War. We gotcha urban coasties and the people who actually make vital stuff like food and energy.

#3 Stocks and bonds are earning little for the individual investor despite stocks being at a record high. Institutional investors may be making money but the individual investor is not. It is especially hard on the older, retired investor depending on return on investments to live on. I blame Washington and Wall Street greed.

#4 BTW, stocks were at a record high just prior to the stock market collapse and the onset of the Great Depression. I don't know what kind of earnings they at the time [just before the Depression]--a little before my time but not by too much. Could be a Civil War but it would be more than likely the people in "fly-over land" pitted against the elites in Washington and their minions such as the MSM, Wall Street, globalists, etc.

#5 JQC, maybe the coasties will jump out of buildings in mass and save us the trouble.

#6 So it's okay, unless the furriners are on to something...

What they are "on to" is a need for cash to prop up their own flagging economies. Selling their bonds early means they need what they can get now as opposed to more later. Sounds like a problem for them, not the issuer of the bonds...

#7 The 3rd world buffoons are buying discounted US debt. They haven't yet tried to redeem any of it.
