two big threats to the US Trez market upcoming

1. return of some (not big) price inflation
2. rising supply of Trez issuances

neither is given much credence these days
but that only confirms their reality
CRB is already giving off alarm signals
gold is also, which offers backdoor imported inflation
Asian imports will rise again in price locally, or else crimp their profit margins back home
there is no alternative
at the same time, further dollar declines and Trez yield rises will seriously hurt Asian bank systems

rising federal deficits will undermine Trez securities
I have heard of demand demand demand like a drone
and almost a total absence of supply issues
last I checked, "SUPPLY & DEMAND" had two components

just when debt defaults contine to rise unabated, US Trez will have a hard time in attracting continued foreign investment
the reasons are numerous, and I wont attempt a comprehensive list
federal deficits are rising, and I expect a $1 Trillion deficit before this recession ends
that figures includes the Printing Press Monetization Machine

in my golden 25 reasons article, I said that capital seeking safety will collide with debt default risk, creating a rocky bottom in Trez yields
this is imminent
I disagree with Mauldin about lower TENS yields coming
a falling dollar countermands such a claim
I am solidly with Pimco's Gross on this issue

further undermining the credit markets will be the falling dollar and its savage Vicious Circle effects
bond yields will rise from dollar declines
dollar declines will continue while yields are competitively low

this will get ugly
as long as investors are totally ignorant of economic history, they will continue to get their heads and their nuts separated from their sheeplike bodies
in 1930 the Gold Standard died during the KWinter
now we have a Dollar Standard underpinned by $6200 billion in federal debt
if this Dollar Monetary Standard survives, I will eat a mile of GreenMan's shit

p.s. how do we know that GreenMan isnt the Devil Incarnate?
