Japan + the markets + higher oil prices = another (mild) recession?

US T-bonds crash + lower dollar + inflation = RECESSION or the beginning of something worse.

hahaha... yep that is the trap! The US is about to reap the consequences of "printing dollars" out of thin area.

maybe rebuild efforts will stimulate economy-not that easy to call-just as war can stimulate economy so in theory can disasters-still a lot of pain for the poor people involved

I'll do my part to help the US when I order my ipad2 via Amazon @R6.50 to the dollar in 3 months time. Just don't expect me to invest in the dollar as a save haven. You're saver walking through Hillbrow at night with a TV set strapped to your back that investing in the greenback.

oh, and T-Bonds are (suppose)the safest investment on earth. What would the world look like if 10 years T Bonds yield reach 7% or 10% (currently 3,3%)?

PIMCO total return fund - largest bond fund in the World has cut its holdings of US related debt to ZERO for the first time since 2008. Anyone surprised ?
