FED Ponzi Scheme

    How is the Fed's plan to buy 1T in treasuries anything but a huge Ponzi scheme??

    I wonder how happy the Chinese will be to invest when they know they'll be getting less for their cash...I think I may just buy 10 billion in treasuries...I know my balance sheet is alot cleaner than theirs...

      our children's children's children will be paying forever...the concern re: the Chinese is that they don't need us...They DO...they especially need Wal Mart....

       We need them to be buy an hold guys re: our Treasurys....Look at the huge yield decline yesterday on the ten year:  from 3% down to 2.50% area....Amazing move, almost never happens......As the Chinese proverb says:  "may you live in interesting times."   I did not count on this environment....However IBD pointed out about 20 positives to look at and think about, which are occurring WITHOUT the Obama meddling as the cause....Maybe there's still hope for America.....

    Chinese's export will get hurt

    Chinese's export will get hurt as well.  If I am China, I will sell all the treasury to make a profit before the inflation happens.
