Any question about bonds shows you’ve got brains, since most people don’t even think enough about them, to even ask a question. Most people don’t even know what they are. I believe this is not taught in high school.
Rich, I read these articles again, and I have 2 questions: Why do you say that tariffs are misguided? It seems that tariffs would discourage Chinese imports, causing us to buy American. A good situation for US business, right? Second, what do you think is the effect of Iran selling oil in euros, and the thwarted port deal, assuming Middle Eastern countries got the message we’ll take their $$s only if they are used to buy treasuries, but not to buy hard assets. Could either of these devalue the dollar?
