U.S. Treasury plans to issue more TIPS bonds

Filed under: Launches, Federal Reserve

Would you believe the the U.S. Treasury will have issued $1.8 trillion of debt by September 2009. Most of this debt was done at a fixed rate. Now with tepid responses to the last two auctions, the Treasury is considering the issuance of TPS bonds.

<>This year the Treasury issued $6 billion of 20-year TIPS and had the highest demand in two years. Now the Treasury wants to issue 30-year TIPS to ...

China's Provincial Growth Figures Far Overstated versus National Figures

As I have repeated throughout the life of the blog - I always listen to companies* to figure out what is going on in the economy, not government reports. (*with the caveat that the bottom line is not to be trusted by companies either due to American style artistry in accounting) There is a great incentive to fudge numbers by those in positions of power, even if you believe statistically it is somehow possible for a government bureaucracy to measure economies of trillions of dollar in size in very short amounts of time.

Words from the (investment) Wise June 21, 2009

Words from the (investment) wise for the week that was (June 15 – 21, 2009)

Caution last week crept back into investors’ vocabulary for the first time in more than three months as they faced up to President Barack Obama’s plan to reform the US financial market regulations, weighed the prospects of a global economic recovery and whether the “green shoots” needed more monetary water, and also started pondering the second-quarter earnings season.

<>As risk-taking moderated, profit-taking on equities and commodities set in after a colossal advance since early March. Government bonds rall...

Words from the (investment) Wise: 5.17.09

Words from the (investment) wise for the week that was (May 11 – 17, 2009)

A long-awaited reversal in the monumental global stock market rally since early March finally arrived last week. As the first-quarter earnings season started winding down and post stress-test capital-raising weighed on some banks, investors were faced with a slew of gloomy economic reports suggesting the recent optimism about a global recovery might have been premature.
