Yep get ready for the bond market to tank. If I were China I would start flooding the market with all the treasury notes I own saying I no longer feel secure in the US ability to honor these and want to sell. Who wants them? Cause a run in Tnotes.

Tether is important in crypto, but more importantly it’s a global foundation: they hold vast amounts of tnotes (courtesy of the Lutnicks and Cantor) and gold — like move and disrupt markets amounts of both.

They also have a weird proclivity to invest in South American companies.

Check it out!

You don’t understand. These motherfuckers hold more tnotes than most COUNTRIES. They have more gold than SOUTH KOREA.
DO YOU HEAR ME? THE PEOPLE WHO INVENTED BLOCKCHAIN DOLLARS ARE STEERING AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY!!!!

*someone scans my QR code and donates some Tether to me*

Thank you so much

Are you a disability researcher working in the FSRDC wondering where the 1980s disability variable in the CPS went? I've written a CES Technical Note describing my process of bringing in those missing data! ideas.repec.org/p/cen/tnotes...

After the CPI data came out, a lot of people started buying 10y Tnotes pushing the yield down. After the initial flurry of buying, sellers have outnumbered buyers causing the yield to slowly rise back to the point where it was at before the data came out.

I chose mutual fund as paying better than bonds right now and Trump made the comment of maybe we don’t really need to pay back all the Tnotes which would tank the bond market. He doesn’t pay his bills so why would he pay Americas.

Question: Where do investors go when they drain out of meta, msft, Tesla, nvda, etc. I’ve identified ibm today which seems to keep it squarely in the bubble. Am I reading that the money kinda just floats inside the bubble until it don’t? Does it got to Tnotes?

When will china retaliate by selling the Tnotes they have?

They have the power to crush the dollar
🚨 NEWS: The White House confirms the tariff on Chinese imports is now 145%—not 125%.

Reminder: tariffs are taxes on imported goods, which means Americans end up paying more.

This is how his mind works; every penny in the treasury, to him, is HIS money. When a country buys our TNotes and TBonds where does the money go - and where does the tariff money go? Into HIS piggy bank (so he thinks). He can spend it how he wants and he can extort other countries for more money.

US govvies, same as always.

If you don't think tnotes are safe anymore, your next port of call isn't gold or crypto - it's ammo and canned goods.

I sold everything before Jan 20th so I can sleep at night because I knew it was going to be chaotic. I kept bonds and some international until Trump got all ….we may not need to pay our Tnotes after all…and I had nightmares of the bond market crashing so I sold those too.

counterpoint: outflows from the dollar and tnotes/bond yields dropping

but who cares. I don’t do securities

#Europe should respond to #Trump #Tariffs by boycotting #Dollars. We can import stuff because we export dollars. So #EU states should stop purchasing #US #TNotes Let Central Bank holdings of US notes mature & reinvest proceeds in #Euro notes. Force #Treasury notes to pay 10%.

#Stagflation baby.

Perhaps my biggest fear in the wake of #Greenland is that Europe dumps all its Tnotes and USD crashes. That makes me feel the walls closing in, trapped in the U.S. My personal sense of freedom is very dependent on being able to move about internationally.

Nah, I don’t think that’s a real assessment. Not only do they require the USD to exist, they are considered as good as a dollar in places that don’t have access to dollars.

It’s like saying tnotes aren’t dollars. They aren’t, but that’s beside the point.

Now combine that with his brilliant statement that they’ve discovered a lot of our Tnotes are probably fraud and the US government doesn’t need to pay them. I took that as he plans on not paying the government debt like he doesn’t pay his own. That will be great for the bond market!
February 12, 2025 at 9:44 AM
Has anyone else seen this? Does this mean he plans on defaulting on US debt the same way he doesn’t pay his personal bills by just saying those Tnotes are fake? What’s that going to do to the bond market?

Then what's your explanation for why yields went *down* during other market crashes and economic uncertainty (see 2008, 2020) indicating 10Y TNotes were in demand for safety, but investors decided to pull *out* of TNotes this time around?

Why is cash and shorter term good this time but not before?
