I Cannot Imagine Buying Bonds Anywhere In The World

I am short junk bonds and I would not buy bonds, I cannot imagine unless it is a very special situation. I cannot imagine buying bonds anywhere in the world except maybe for short term Russian bonds just because the yield is so high. But I cannot imagine buying bonds anywhere.

The Bond Bull Market: Coming To An End?

The bond bull market has been going on for 35 years. It started, the bottom was on September 1981, so it has been going on for over 34 years now. And yes, it is coming to an end. You may have government bonds go higher for a while just as panic takes place. I am short junk bonds in the United States and you are right, they are going down now, some more than others obviously.

We are making a top in interest rates but that does not mean that if and when the Federal Reserve panics again that interest rates will not go down some more. But we are making the top. Not sure about sovereigns because I expect so much panic that many people will pile into them as they are piling into the U.S. Dollar.

German Bunds: Can Yields Go Even Lower?

Of course it can go lower, but will it? I do not have a clue. As I said before, central banks will panic and they will do whatever they can to "save the world". But they will not save the world.

Unfortunately, after 8 years of this madness we are paying the price. Wether we pay the price in 2016 or 2017...we are certainly going to pay the price.

If Markets Get Worse, Central Bankers Will Come To Play Again

I know what will happen is as the markets get worse, Mrs. Yellen and the people in Washington are going to get a lot of phone calls saying, "You have to save civilization because the world is coming to an end". They are bureaucrats and academics, they do not know much of anything and that is why they work for the government. They will panic and they will d soothing. They will do more than they did in the past because it did not work in the past.

Crude Oil: Production Is Being Cut

It is happening but many oil wells you just cannot close them down, in the North Sea for instance, many Russian oil fields you just cannot close them down. First and second of all, many people do not believe when prices are down, it takes a while for it to stink in that they really want to close their fields.

But its happening, its happening now, massive cuts are being made in exploration budgets, it is happening.

Crude Oil: It Will Go Back to 150 Dollars A Barrel, Eventually

Will it go back to 150 dollars? Not anytime soon. Will it get there? It certainly will get there eventually and if there is a war if it will get there soon but otherwise its going to take a while. Know reserves of oil worldwide continue to decline except for fracking and fracking cannot make money except at very high prices.

Crude Oil: Production Cut, Venezuela, U.S. Fracking

Not yet. This is not really news, it is publicity. Remember, they have to get everybody to agree, including Venezuela and Venezuela cannot really afford to cut production. And the fracktors in America? Nobody can go to several thousand fracktors and say, "You have to cut production." You just cannot organize it and they will not do it anyway.
