Ok , and ?

Convivial · 26-30, F

@Jake966 you're ok with that?

Jake966 · 56-60, M

@Convivial then they buy bonds and invest in America

Convivial · 26-30, F

@Jake966 buying bonds is not investing in America... It's lending money so your debt gets even bigger... And the money they made came from the little people who didn't have access to the same information

Jake966 · 56-60, M

@Convivial I don’t agree

Convivial · 26-30, F

@Jake966 I was under no allusion you would...

Jake966 · 56-60, M

@Convivial investing in America is a good thing

Convivial · 26-30, F

@Jake966 I agree... But let's not kid ourselves that what they did having inside information made them a lot of money at the expense of the average joe

Jake966 · 56-60, M

@Convivial yes and leaving those investments and going elsewhere may be a good thing

@Jake966 There's not a huge demand for US Treasury bonds right now! 😅

@Jake966 ... and is sure smells like insider trading. That's a crime, in case you didn't know.

When Martha Steward was convicted of insider trading to avoid $45,000 in losses, she was sentenced to 5 months in prison.

@SunshineGirl from the uk, no there isn't. Never is so you aren't saying anything.

@MasterLee They have always formed a sizeable part of our investment strategy. You buy government bonds as a safe option because you rely upon governments paying up on time. Trump has destroyed much of that certainty, so international markets are selling and the yield is rising . . so the American taxpayer will now have to pay more to service the national debt.
