The Coming Crash in the Bond Market

It is my contention that the 70-year debt supercycle has come to an end.

To put the current financial situation in perspective, here's a long-term history of the debt-to-GDP ratio, which reached a record high at the beginning of the current crisis. It was a dramatic change in 2009, unlike anything since the aftermath of the Great Depression. Continue reading "The Coming Crash in the Bond Market"

Do you think the bank stress test is credible?
