I wonder how many bills are just not getting paid right now. I know at my professional services employer that some of our invoices into the Feds aren’t getting paid, depending on department (nothing to do with the projects). I’m still getting my salary, but any small businesses subbed to us in those projects aren’t getting paid either. They don’t exactly have the cash cushion to keep making payroll that my employer has.

Personally we’ve canceled high five figures of expenditures this year, mostly a new family car but some planned vacations as well.

This just keeps getting better:

“Elon Musk slammed President Donald Trump’s trade adviser Peter Navarro as “truly a moron” and “dumber than a sack of bricks” on Tuesday.”

what a clusterfuck all around. Someone is dumping bonds massively and this money is not going back into equities. Which means no good - someone is getting liquidated or some sovereign fund decided to stick it to the US.

Black Monday was a hoax, let’s see what Orange Friday brings us.

It’s not. Bond yields spiked across the globe in sync. Japan, UK, Australia were all up the same amount as US treasuries. China doesn’t own much of these other bonds.

Also you can’t just dump treasuries on the market like it’s a stock. The secondary market is tiny, and China owns mostly short dated T-bills which haven’t moved. Even the 2-3 years haven’t moved much, the rout is entirely in 10 year and 30 years.

It’s very odd. I was talking with a bond guy I know on discord and he doesn’t understand it either. Glad I bought loads of puts while certain people were saying to BTFD. :grinning_face:

I feel bad for all the people who are going to lose their jobs and their houses though.

Bond rout is on at 2:50 am EST

That article appears to conclude that “the only winning move is not to play”.

Are we looking at needing to exit money market funds?
