This Week's Featured Story ... The Most Dangerous Bubble of All by Martin D. Weiss Ph.D.
If you agree that the tech bubble of the 1990s and the housing bubble of the 2000s were extreme, then you must not ignore a bubble that could be the most dangerous of all — grossly overvalued bonds.
Author Martin D. Weiss and Safe Money editor Mike Larson That's precisely the bubble we have right now! And in just a moment, I'll tell you why it's going to bust. But first, consider ...
The Swift and Certain Impacts
Of ALL Bond Market Busts ...Let's say I pay $10,000 for a $10,000 face value bond paying 5 percent. I earn $500 in interest each year. No more, no less.
Now let's say the price of that bond plunges to $5,000. If you buy it at that price, you still get $500 in yearly interest.
But all you'll have to invest is $5,000. So your interest yield is not 5 percent. It's 10 percent! The price of the bond falls in half; the yield doubles!
In fact, the price and the yield of a bond are really two ways of measuring the same thing — much like a cup 3/4 full is the same as a cup 1/4 empty.
So when the bond market bubble busts, the inevitable and immediate consequence is that interest rates surge — not only on bonds, but also on mortgages, auto loans, business loans, and almost every kind of financing imaginable.
Internal Sponsorship Crucial deadline TOMORROW!
The federal deficit is exploding, Treasury bonds are sinking fast and the temporary "calm before the storm" in financial markets could end almost any day.
So this coming Monday, February 14, we will be holding an urgent online teleconference to release landmark new recommendations — to help you protect yourself and PROFIT from the fallout. Your deadline for signing up is tomorrow, February 13!
