I am with you about ecb holdings...how else will they attract money flow? You are the Russian authority(among your different caps)...just tell me what you think about Germany holding all that paper..does that give you faith in Germany? also wonder how many people are scared to death of common currency when the Europeans are probably behind the year2000 fix let along software needed for the common currency...wonder where those billions are coming from for the remediation..also with high unemployment,where will the jobs come from? when will Japan and India provide the backlash to US..wonder how Japan feels about Clinton's pro China policies.. tax cuts were promised by Japan to take place next year..think the "saving face" nature of the culture suggests it will definitely happen..market hates uncertainty..wonder if the market reads it as I... noticed that the US is going to offer "a new type of savings bond with a retrn pegged to inflation rates and a 30-year maturity".. here we go.....

I don't think I should have buried that inflation savings bond item in my prior post.. An alternative has been provided for small investors who want to be prudent..supposedly the rate will start at 3.5 percent.. the only trouble besides the lower rate is that once again it gives the government the incentive to not reflect true inflation! I was waiting for something in the longer yield side since a few weeks ago they announced a removal of certain notes..and a quarterly offering rather than a monthly offering of another note.. I am still expecting the government to start issuing more 30 year bonds now..I will be surprised if they don't
