I took a harder look at this "report," and concluded it was misleading at best, and exploitive and manipulative at worst.

The recent auction activities of the FED have to attributed to roll-overs, as per their official position on such actions:

This is what I love about DU, so many keen and patient minds here, sharing and helping each other

Sorry for the confusion friends.


Original post:

"The buyer of last resort" has just acted, again.

Why ?

Foreign holdings (aka loans to us) of our debt is the lowest since the 90's

Domestic demand is down

Gold is at all time highs

Even bitcoin has been over $100,000 for a week now
( and Blackrock has been accumulating it non stop all month )

This is not going well

#MAGA !
