In the 80's, the US T-Bond contract was the most liquid market. The bond pit at the CBOT was so crowded that you could not turn around. There was a bit of intrigue with commodities. It was deemed "not a prudent man’s investment vehicle' — it was for the aggressive investor. It was not a climate for "everyman" as the margins were often high and the moves could be severe.

Since the start of the European sovereign debt debacle, the word "austerity" has been bandied about a lot.

It wasn't an everyday word, and may send some people to the dictionary. Merriam-Webster defines "austerity" this way: enforced or extreme economy.

But even knowing this definition might leave one wondering how "austerity measures" relate to Europe's debt crisis. The Associated Press (5/13) provided this overview: Continue reading "The Day of American Austerity: What Will It Look Like?" →
