Nah, Obama said his friend is going to print more. We have no worries.

Obviously yes, but we are in uncharted territory here so it will be a wild ride. My personal investments are moving heavy into S. American companies.

NO
Even the worlds biggest bond fund is still only chump change in the total market for US treasuries, the US treasury bond auctions of late have been over subscribed and yields have declined.

The Fed has been selling all the bonds now.

Even the worlds biggest bond fund is still only chump change in the total market for US treasuries, the US treasury bond auctions of late have been over subscribed and yields have declined. Huh? In the article above, I just read that the Fed was buying up 70% of the treasuries. Having someone magically make "money" out of thin air and buy up your debt with it hardly sounds like there is a market for said debt. Or am I misunderstanding things?

True but it is only part of the story. The money center banks buy the bonds from the treasury. They flip them within days to the Federal Reserve Corporation. Without the Federal Reserve being the final buyer, the auctions would fail.

Lately the bond auctions have been over subscribed by a factor of about 3x. That means there are 3x more bidders for the bonds than there are bonds for sale. If there were no other buyers out there but the Fed that would be a concern but the fact is that the auctions attract buyers outside the Fed by a 2:1 margin

Pimco has gotten rid of
all US Gubmint bonds? Even the short and intermediate term? Hmmmm....hold on a minute.
I'm looking at PIMCO Moderate Duration Fund (PMDRX) and it's still chock full of all kinds of US debt obligations.
Long term bad, I suppose, but....they haven't completely flown the coop just yet.
