TrezONeill is clueless on foreign holdings
just saw a brief cutting in front of Congress
he said he doesnt believe any single country owns enough TreasuryBonds to influence the market

are you kidding me??????????
China has $250B
Japan has $300B
a total of perhaps $1500-2000 billion outside our borders

several Asian PacRim Tigers have been printing their own debased currencies, then using them to buy USTBonds
they use the interest-bearing TBond as a security for monetizing their banking systems
this is so dangerous
TBond is debt, not a tangible asset

these guys are either clueless or scared to tell the truth
my guess is they are scared
the AFL-CIO testifies about a 30% discount given by the currency market on mfd products
it must reverse, and gold will benefit
