Bailouts' Unintended Consequences

Within the next 12 months the yields on treasuries will begin to rise. This is because the fools (China etc.) who have been willing to accept low interest rates will be tapped (China has a stimulus package of their own to fund etc.) out.

This will cause all interest rates to rise, which will make the housing market worse. If it gets too much worse then the stability of the financial system will once again be the main concern.

Shorting treasuries seems like a rational investment, but yields may decrease before they increase.

@12 - good luck shorting Treasuries because I hear they're really easy to borrow.

I'm glad the TARP is covering continued AIG spa treatments.

Every night you sleep
But your dreams are wide awake
Because ambitions never sleep,
Aspirations never sleep
Goals never sleep
Hopes never sleep
Opportunities never sleep
The world never sleeps
That’s why we work around the world
That’s why we work around the clock
To turn dreams into realities
That’s why Citi never sleeps

@22
nice work.

@19
Duh, been pretty obvious for at least 6 months, if not a year+ that would happen. Yet somehow so many people shat the bed on that prediction, sigh...
