    The largest bond holder in the world is the same thing as a crazy guy on the street.

    Way to add value.

    Frankly, I think it's 90% pure guessing.

    $140+ billion is a hell of a guess.

    $140B is chump change to the government. I bet Barfo would support a $140B goat sacrificing program if Democrats proposed it.

    What I mean is this- Although I can only afford to invest small amounts of money, about 5 or 6 times I've made a 200-400% return within two years on stocks the "experts" scream to avoid for idiotic reasons (like, the Uruguayan plum harvest is bad so sim chips for cell phones will drop off...) and I've had terrible returns on stocks nearly 100% of the experts scream to buy. So forecasting the economy is basically, to me, a throw the dart at the board game. Where ever the dart sticks, that's the expert forecast.

    I'm into goat roping, goat raping, and goat sacrifice no matter who proposes it. We need at least $200B, though. You can't stint on goat programs. Goats don't grow on trees, y'know.

    You're supposed to buy on bad news, sell on good news. So your experience seems to validate that.
