    Its a chrome addon, it helps me no end. The yield on treasuries is negative alledgely, some consider this impossible and others fact.

    If it were negative it more then explains the increased use of gold instead, as obviously big money is very adverse to losing any part of itself.
    This was the reaction to Lehmans when they caused money funds to go negative, funding withdrew completely from this market. I presume it could happen to government bonds or even plain cash could suffer the loss of the majority of its backers.

    Most of us are net debtors not creditors so those big money wealth funds and people matter more then anything we can do or say on what objects are worth or what the rules are even

    Even if we presume investors are idiots. Randomly one day they'll discover the truth of real returns

    Even funds such as Foreign & Colonial Investment Trust (15% of the fund is invested in private equity) for one had a holding. :j

    Seems as if they cashed in a slug of shares.

    No doubt some of my other share holding did likewise.

    Aaahhhhh, I see, very good Thrug!

    Not the Gin, but the random sentence generator mentioned earlier. Sorry, I'm a bit slow at the moment - lots of stuff happening at work. :o
