Trader,

I looked for short US bond ETFs about a year ago but couldn't find any. Ive used futures and spreadbets reasonably successfully to take short positions on US & UK treasuries over the past 12 months

Jim Rogers Shorting US Bonds

"I will be shorting US bonds," Jim Rogers chairman of Rogers Holding said at conference in Edinburgh. "I would probably be doing it today if I weren't here," he said. Bonds in the US have been in a bull market for 30 years, Rogers said. "In my view that's coming to an end...the bond bull market is coming to an end. If any of you have bonds I would urge you to go home and sell them. If any of you are bond portfolio managers I would get another job," he said. in CNBC

This was good, and very educational for the uninformed, hopefully its message will spread like wildfire through the high schools of the US.
'College' in the modern America is about getting less and paying more, via Government debt, therefore many institutions are unsustainable, it's a bubble that just has to burst. I think Mr Rogers would agree.


NIA's long awaited hour long must see upcoming documentary will be called 'College Conspiracy'. It is tentatively scheduled to be released at the end of April and will be the most comprehensive documentary ever produced about America's college education system, which NIA will expose as the largest fraud in U.S. history. NIA believes the college education system is a huge bubble that will soon collapse and destroy the lives of millions of Americans.

There is no debate about this, Goldman and the Greek government conspired to commit fraud. Nobody has been brought to justice, while the result of this fraud has lead to riots in the street.



Greece Had 13 Currency Swaps With Goldman, Eurostat Says
By Elisa Martinuzzi - May 12, 2011 5:41 PM GMT+0100

Greece had 13 off-market derivative contracts with Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS), most of which swapped Japanese yen into euros in a 2001 transaction aimed at concealing the true size of the nation's debt, according to the European Union's statistics office.

Good post apdi71, thanks for the input.

commodities will hold up in the face of a US crash?

One problem is your pricing reference frame; and what you mean by commodities.

The price of wheat in dollar terms could shoot up, but if the futures market breaks under the strain, then your paper contracts could be worthless.

Bailing out bankers (and meeting welfare/pensions commitments) could (must?) result in massive inflation, if welfare does not keep up (can it?) then there may be riots. To please the crowds there may be price controls, but although expensive basic food would be illegal, it would also be unobtainable.

The absence of a market price would make food futures meaningless, moreover it would please the dissatisfied crowds to ban such speculation. The administrators would blame speculators for the predicament that their interventions created.

I work with smart young Chinese. What Jim says appears to be true, in many important respects China is more capitalist than the west. Taxes are low and people are personally responsible for their own welfare to a large degree. They want to make businesses and innovate; there is (notoriously) little 'red' tape. Chinese strategists have learned from the examples of Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan. They are allowing spontaneous non interventionist growth, rather than bureaucratic complex state economic planed growth. It must be plain that this is working far better than state socialist strategies. I hope that the red-greens who travel to China to admire the totalitarian dream are deluded. - My point being that if Jim is investing in far eastern futures then they may be honoured even if western contracts are not.

Investments in oil and precious metals have done well for me over the last decade, I can't see a better bet for the next decade.

What are you invested in?, your own business?. If you think food, energy, precious metals and other commodities will fall in dollar terms, what do you think will do better?. Government bonds?.
