DESTINY WITH DEBT

Investors are holding their breath as the stock market took a step back this week amidst an absolute bloodbath in bonds.

Meanwhile, in a surprise move Fitch downgraded the U.S. credit rating.

However, despite the U.S. Treasury announcing another $1.3 Trillion of new debt issuance before year’s end, remember it is a relative game – the U.S. doesn’t go down without every other nation going down with it.

The questions still remains, not if but when, however the global debt bubble’s final date with destiny seems to be approaching quickly.
