Fed to Auction $75B in Treasuries.
2008-03-21 22:11:00 Thursday was a good day for the market, as both oil and gold prices fell. Perhaps even more encouraging was the news that the Fed will auction $75 million in securities to banks next week. Will this have a lasting effect on the economy? Hard to say, though investors are certainly more confident right now.The market reflected another change on Thursday. The Dow Jones rose over 260 points (2.2%), the Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 2.4%, and the Nasdaq rose 2.2%. It was a welcome relief for everyone, no doubt. The Dow lost almost 300 points the day before, costing investors almost all of their previous gains.The roller coaster ride will stop for several days, but analysts are confident that the stock exchange will open to the same optimism when it opens its doors on Monday. Following the good news this week, the US dollar has strengthened and the manufacturing sector has stabilized.With $75 million in Treasury securities due next week, investors will be able to use some of their...

Here, he looks at the benefits of Treasuries and the various ways that investors can add them to their portfolios."We now have overwhelming evidence of a severe recession. And we have a solid confirmation in the stock market itself. But we also forecast that the Fed would fight back, and do so aggressively, fomenting an inflationary recession. "They’re pumping in massive amounts of money, trying to calm markets and seeking to avert a recession. But it’s too little, too late for the economy. And it’s too much, too soon for the already-shaky dollar. Result: Gold has surged along with other commodities. "And c...

Marcel's Birthday: A Muscleboy's Treasuries
2007-09-07 10:02:00 It is said, that God created biceps just for one reason: He wanted Marcel to flex them. I agree: If I was allowed to choose a body instead of mine, I would instantly take Marcel?s one. In my view he?s the perfect muscleboy: incredibly gorgeous pecs, perfect abs, and the most wonderful biceps in the world. And all the rest isn?t worse either! Today, September 7th, is Marcel?s 25th birthday.I remember very well, when I saw Marcel for the first time. He was on photos and in videos of the site TeenMuscleVideo.com/AbsoluteMus-cle.com, and I said to my friends: Have you already seen this new model boy Marcel? I thought: If I had a model agency, I would instantly try to hire him. Obviously Ron Williams from Vistavideo had the same idea: Soon Marcel posed and flexed on his site. Up to now Marcel has starred in four Vistavideo DVDs. New ones are in the pipeline. Ron is surely the perfect photographer for finding always the best light for Marcel?s bulging muscles and for his boyish, cute smile...

Is China quietly dumping US Treasuries?
2007-09-07 08:36:00 From the Telegraph:Is China quietly dumping US Treasuries?A sharp drop in foreign holdings of US Treasury bonds over the last five weeks has raised concerns that China is quietly withdrawing its funds from the United States, leaving the dollar increasingly vulnerable.Data released by the New York Federal Reserve shows that foreign central banks have cut their stash of US Treasuries by $48bn since late July, with falls of $32bn in the last two weeks alone."This comes as a big surprise and it is definitely worrying," said Hans Redeker, currency chief at BNP Paribas."We won't know if China is behind this until the Treasury releases its TIC data in November, but what it does show is that world central banks are in a hurry to get out of the US. They don't seem to be switching into other currencies, so it is possible they are moving into gold instead. Gold is now gaining momentum across all currencies and has broken through resistance at 500 euros," he said.While the greenback has been ...
