< A person with $100,000 can control a million dollars in treasuries. Just like stocks bought on margin in 1929. A million dollars of treasuries at say 2.5% interest rate becomes worth about $800,000 if the interest rate goes to 3%. Make that $500 million held by a bank and the loss is $100 million. > And that is most likely why rates won't be going up soon. At least not until the Banksters offload the bonds onto retail investors and pension funds. Of course expect the banksters to get a free pass on any losses from the Fed Fools.
