I thought the 30 Year Bond would be around 15% by now.

I have completely given up trying to understand our financial system.

Everything I thought I knew about finance is useless.

Massive money printing, massive debt, massive fiscal deficits, and interest rates have barely moved.

Didn't the Chicom s get out of or stop buying our short term debt? Theres a reason economics is called the dismal science.

The Chinese total holdings have drifted up about 10% over the last year to $1.31 trillion.

I don’t have a chart for their holdings by duration.

Total foreign holdings are $5.71 trillion.

I believe total US Treasury public debt is just over $17 trillion, which is more than our annual GDP.
