Haha, yeah I'm not trading yet, just watching the markets. And what I've surmised from learning and observing is this site does not live up to it's name :p Anyway, thanks for all input guys, best of luck.

Interesting how that works. So let's say in a hypothetical scenario China and Japan stop buying our treasuries. What would you? P.S. I'm relatively new to trading so I'm gauging veterans' opinions about all this :)

Bloomberg Economic Calendar: Thoughts? Even if data get's fluffed up full of bullshitted, the Chinese and Japanese are getting more and more uneasy about being America's creditor. What would you short in this scenario?

Okay... Well, let's assume the U.S. still has a financial market when shit hits the fan. What would I invest in to capitalize on weakness in Chinese or Japanese demand for Treasuries?

From Obama's pay as you go plan on MSNBC as of June 9: "The House and Senate already have their own PAYGO rules, but have routinely found ways around them. For example, a bill to effectively double GI Bill education benefits was enacted last year because of a loophole in congressional rules."...

It looks like the U.S. government keeps borrowing money from foreign investors with no intent or ability to pay it back. My question is: how would I capitalize on this notion? Would I short bonds? T-bills? I'm relatively new to trading so I'm not aware of all the nuances and intricacies...

It's worrisome to know this 'magic' won't last forever. The gov's house of cards will eventually fall and on that day we'll have an economy in the shitter with nobody to bail us out.
