Originally posted by Doggy Styles View PostWhatever AtW. You were wrong, I put you right with a fact, so you've simply changed the subject.
The only fact is actual high yields on those bonds, what you've given is your explanation of why it happens.
Both mine and yours are correct - yields are high because of lower demand and those who put bids in want higher %-tage, on the other hand (unlike UK) they can't print money to make up for it hence they ended up with high interest rates.Comment
