This dude sums it up nicely:

``Over the last couple of years I shake my head at the shear idiocy in financial markets with prices going up and down on specious kinds of thinking. It seems the world of trading has gone from an assessment mentality to soundbite overreaction,'' said Albertson

Not a bad soundbite itself. Not bad at all....

From the article:

The total pile of publicly traded Treasuries has fallen from $3.7 trillion at the end of 1999 as the government has cut back on auctions of new debt and repurchased $31.75 billion of older yet-to-mature debt.

from 3.7 trillion at the end of 1999 to what?

any idea? anyone?
