Bloomberg: USA loses AAA rating
March 23rd, 2010
Well not officially at least, but in practice:
The bond market is saying that it’s safer to lend to Warren Buffett than Barack Obama.
Two-year notes sold by the billionaire’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. in February yield 3.5 basis points less than Treasuries of similar maturity, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Procter & Gamble Co., Johnson & Johnson and Lowe’s Cos. debt also traded at lower yields in recent weeks, a situation former Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. chief fixed-income strategist Jack Malvey calls an “exceedingly rare” event in the history of the bond market.
What does this event say about Barnaby Joyce’s warning on the impact on the Australian economy from the US debt implosion, and the main stream media and ALP clowns that shouted him down? They got it wrong badly!
