The Coming Bond Market Crash: The Three Moves Every Investor Must Make |
BY MARTIN HUTCHINSON, Contributing Editor, Money Morning
Since last November, the U.S. Federal Reserve has been buying U.S. Treasury bonds at a rate of about $75 billion a month. That's part of Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke's "QE2" program, under which the central bank was to buy $600 billion of the government bonds.
But QE2 ended yesterday (Thursday), meaning the Fed will no longer be a big buyer of Treasury bonds.
So starting today (Friday), the U.S. Treasury needs to sell twice as many Treasury bonds to end investors as it had been.
But the problem is, who's going to buy them?
Not China, which is diversifying its trillions in assets to get as far away from the U.S. dollar as fast as it can.
Not Japan, which is trying to rebound from its March 11 earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster - and is focusing all its spending on reconstruction.
And - as we've seen -neither is the Bernanke-led Fed.
I'm telling you right now: We are headed for an epic bond market crash. If you don't know about it, or don't care, you could get clobbered.
But if you do know, and are willing to take steps now, you can easily protect yourself - and even turn a nice profit in the process.
Let me explain ... More.
