Re: Must watch Video
The title of this video is "Don't Panic! IMF to issue bonds - in SDRs". Mike, a frequent YouTube financial commentator, relays reports of the IMF's first bond issue, with interest pegged in the basket of currencies behind SDR's. Russia and China are both involved. [P.S. -- cf. iTulip post Brazil to make $10bn loan to IMF for another tidbit on this new IMF facility.]Originally posted by Mega View Post
Mike then suspects US Treasury rates will rise, hence mortgage and corporate debt rate will rise, hence home owners, banks and corporations will be in further trouble, hence ... ouch. Oh, and BP reports that global demand for oil fell for the first time in many years.
He concludes "get ready for a really, really bump ride", just after noting a few more upcoming scheduled events in the next few weeks.Last edited by ThePythonicCow; June 11, 2009, 03:17 AM.Most folks are good; a few aren't.Comment

Re: Must watch Video
The way the gentleman on the video says the word "bonds" with the big round 'O' sounds distinctly British to my tin Texas ear ;) .Originally posted by metalman View Postbut... but... where's the brit accent? and... and... why is he saying so many words?Most folks are good; a few aren't.Comment
