Instead of T-Bills, consider TIPS (Treasury Inflation-Protected
Securities). No maturities to roll over.

Re: [RT] crude oil at 13 year high
I just finished a book that
describes what could happen in a full financial meltdown. It's a novel
by James Cook called "Full Faith & Credit". Pretty scary but
enlightening reading.
In that vain, could some of you
share your strategy for asset protection and profit should such an
unwinding happen.I don't have one yet but am beginning the planning and
would appreciate the thoughts of others.

Re: [RT] crude oil at 13 year high
This conspiracy stuff has been
discussed on this forum going back to the early bubble years in the
mid-90's, and back then I subscribed to that theory too. I also
believed that the government was actively involved in propping up the
stock market but after seeing what happened to the markets since the
bubble popped I no longer believe that either.
I think the questionable
economic numbers we get are due mostly, if not completely, to the
normal inefficiency and incompetence you get out of any massive
bureaucracy. Doesn't "CPI excluding food and energy" sound a lot like
"EPS of xx cents excluding one time charges that recur every quarter"?
How about the headline Labor number we get every month that doesn't
include independent contractors or the self-employed? But there's a
Household number that does include that number which is rarely
mentioned, however I suspect there are problems with how that number is
calculated too.
The other item that argues
against any meaningful "cooking of the books" is that these massive
government agencies are comprised of people from both parties, albeit
mostly democrats. So it's hard to imagine they could maintain a
"cover-up" year after year and through different administrations. This
would be especially true for a republican administration since the
media would be in an orgasmic frenzy to cover such a story.
I share the longer term
negative view on the equity markets being expressed on this forum, but
it's not because of any government conspiracy....it's because of what
has transpired in previous post-bubble periods and the length of time
it took to truly and fully recover from a financial bubble (15-20
years).
