It's a bubble. A big one. If it pops, people won't be able to sell these bonds without taking a loss.
If they hold them to maturity, they'll take a loss. It'll be interesting.

The problem is, the the corrupt banks, insurance industry and financial industry that manipulated the system which is in bed with big global government was NOT ALLOWED to fail.

IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN.

We do not have a free market. It is socialism for the uber wealthy, dog eat dog for main street. The poor will suffer to make sure the elites live like kings.

The proof can be found for folks that do the research.

Not if. .. . .

They know it will happen, they have designed the law to strip folks of their assets already.

Why Bank Bail-Ins Will Be the New Bailouts

Well it seems Todd your opinion does not qualify you as an economist, I suspect Econ 101 was the first course you have ever taken and may not have passed.

BTW: My only course in Econ was 101; Thus I'm no expert, then again I'm not a fool.

Most banks, especially American ones, have tons of excess capital.
Euro bonds going back to par isn't going to cause us any/many problems.

Mea culpa Todd, my comments should have been directed at MrBeale.

Did you read the link? How, if at all, will it impact your investment strategy?

I don't hold any negative rate bonds. If the foreign bond market tanks, it will impact all the markets. Not much I can do about that. I don't want to sit in cash for a long period of time.

Just keeping an eye on things, haven't changed my holdings because of this.
