Will Russia Add More U.S. Treasurys? “NYET” »

By Larry Doyle on Jun 11, 2009 in Economy, Sense on Cents (Larry Doyle blog), U.S. Treasury | 8 Comments

The United States government is very much dependent on foreign investors purchasing U.S. Treasury securities on an ongoing basis. In fact, as our fiscal deficit explodes, it is not an exaggeration to assert that Uncle Sam’s dependence on foreign investment will need to increase. How interesting that on the day of a $19 billion 10yr [...]

That’s what the Germans seem to think of Secretary Clinton, anyway. It seems they are asking her to help deal with the GM mess as it relates to them, according to this article (H/T to Ani for alerting me to this). Why, you might ask? Because it affects them, too, in a big way. You [...]

All The King’s Horses and All The King’s Men . . . »

By Larry Doyle on May 8, 2009 in Economy, FINRA, SEC, Sense on Cents (Larry Doyle blog), U.S. Treasury, Wall Street | 9 Comments

Can Barack Obama’s horses and men in the persons of Ben Bernanke, Tim Geithner, Larry Summers, Paul Volcker, Rham Emanuel, Sheila Bair, and their minions put Wall Street together again? The glue and putty in the form of trillions of dollars of taxpayer funds and commitments is still wet. Mr. “Humpty Dumpty” Wall Street is [...]

The movie Goodfellas provides a wealth of material for comparative analysis of the markets. The “insider activity,” the “fooling around,” “the payoffs,” and “the gambling” all make for great drama on the screen. Truth be told, one does not have to look all that hard to find striking similarities to certain activities in the world [...]

(This is essential reading that I bumped up – Susan) Remember when George Bush and Dick Cheney could rely on the many in the media to help them euphemize that dirty word, “torture?” It wasn’t torture, it was “enhanced interrogation.” That’s like calling the amputation of a leg, “enhanced skin removal below the waist.” For [...]

DID WALL STREET FLIP OFF TREASURY TODAY??!! »

By Larry Doyle on Mar 25, 2009 in Economy, Sense on Cents (Larry Doyle blog), U.S. Treasury, Wall Street | 13 Comments

The U.S. Treasury was heavily involved in the bond market today. How did they do? They bought high and sold low. What happened? Treasury announced last week that they would engage in buying hundreds of billions of government and mortgage securities in an attempt to move interest rates lower and spark consumer and corporate borrowing.
