Treasury 10-year note yields reached the highest level in almost four weeks before the U.S. sells $24 billion of the securities today.


Which may explain earlier hesitancy in the US Indices attempting to make the all time highs inflation adjusted ;

FWIW I'd expect the next few RBS results to show improvements in their
performance, but the EuroZone seems to be doubling down as is Japan.
I'm moving into cash, and expect to stay there this side of October.

all of sudden this is not an issue anymore....

14.41 These figures make for bleak reading. According to official data, the number of companies which filed for bankruptcy in Spain jumped by over 20pc in the first quarter.
A total of 2,854 companies filed for insolvency during the first three months of the year, a 22.8pc increase over the same period in 2012 and a 10.4pc rise from the previous quarter, the National Statistics Institute said.
One quarter of the firms that filed for bankruptcy came from the construction sector, 17.1pc came from the commercial sector and 16.3pc were from the industry and energy sector, it added.

How much does Spain owe? How many banks will it take down with it?

Cost of living rising - wages flat
Annuities destroyed
Savings rates destroyed
Debt rising - rates held down
Austerity has failed because the debt is to high
Growth via borrowing is impossible due to the level of debt
Any rise in global rates and it is game over

Only solution - print like hell. But all that money is going to banksters and all they are doing is using it to inflate as many bubbles as they can.

In the end the 95% of us below the elite cannot afford to pay for their inflated bubbles, and so in the end they must pop. No idea when it will pop but it could make 2007/8 look like a picnic as we are in a far worse state now than then imho
