    Premarket futures are in rally mode followinginteresting comments from Alan Greenspan that an inverted yield curve this time does not mean that the economy is going to weaken as it has done in the past.

    :shock::shock::shock:Four most dangerous words to an investor:

    This time is different. :?

    To bad the deadline is noon. After lunch should be very interesting ahead of the trade balance report.

    Greenie must be scratching his head. Last thing he wanted was for the 10 year yield to dive again.

    What a corner he is painted into? Now saying inverted yield curve is not bad for the economy. Wow!!! He needs a econ 101 refresher.

    Oh yeah, the yield curve is inverting.

    Since you say "you only post the facts", which is a major falsehood, you should get the facts straight. He said "flattening" yield curve, not inverted.

    Be careful, if he comes to this site, he may sue you..................

    Again, flattening is not inverting. You must not have went to chart tekno posted so your comments are not justified. Just like you.

    Have a nice day,

    If the 6 month yield is less then the overnight rate.

    I.E. overnight 3%

    6 month 2.94.

    That is an inverted yield curve.

    Why is that so hard for you to grasp?

    When shorter duration maturies yield is higher then longer term maturies.

    I really do not like you posting in threads I have started because once you post it like ruins the whole thread.

    I do not appreciate your continued personal attacks and trying to goat everyone that does notthink like you on this board.

    You are a bottle neck for learning, converation and enjoyment for all.

    Do you realize that?

    By the way:

    Would you stop lieing. And at least research the facts before you post here?

    Inverted curve might not signal weakness-Greenspan - Reuters - 11 hours ago

    You are a negative member on this board because you cloud every important issue and are a waste of time.

    Thank you. Really, before you post make make an effort to check your facts first???? Because 9 out of 10 times you are wrong. That is like four days in a row you posted a major error and I am tired of it.

    You kill threads with important information.

    You posted a false comment (a lie). If you just take the time to do a little thinking and reading on your own, perhaps? You are like nails on a chalkboard for people with investing knowledge and for those learning you are a major, major source of disinfomation.

    So please honor your word and do not comment again.

    Your aritcle, please read the last sentence:

    Inverted curve might not signal weakness-Greenspan

    Mon Jun 6, 2005 11:00 PM ET
    WASHINGTON, June 6 (Reuters) - Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said on Monday he would be hesitant to assume an inverted bond yield curve in the United States would necessarily mean the economy was weakening.

    "It's ... certainly the case that history suggests that it's usually, or has been, an indicator -- a forward indicator -- of softening economic activity," Greenspan told a bankers conference in Beijing as he answered audience questions via satellite from Washington.
    "I suspect, however, that we have changed the structure of flow of funds and relationships amongst the various interest-rate tranches by maturity such that I'm not sure what such a configuration, should it occur, would mean."
    "I cannot tell you whether in fact we will see an inverted yield curve," he added.



    Hmmmmmmmmmmm, can't tell us if we "will see an inverted yield curve". NOt, we currentlly are seeing an inverted yield curve.

    You're wrong, go play with techy.....................

    BTW, would you quit playing with the fonts on my posts that you quote.....

    Thank you,

    Yeah, like that'll stop him..............

    Allow me to show you the article that I read:

    http://money.cnn.com/2005/06/07/comm...hays/index.htm

    Now, you can call me a liar all you want, although coming from you, it lends little credence.

    Are you willing to admit you are wrong about being in an inverted yield curve?

    I thought not.

    How about we start a poll to see who thinks we are and who thinks we aren't?

    Now, you and I have wasted enough people's time. Bye MT.

    1) http://stockcharts.com/charts/YieldCurve.html
    if it was we would have a serious situation and none of the markets would show green

    2) If the 6 month yield is less then the overnight rate.
    I.E. overnight 3%
    6 month 2.94.
    That is an inverted yield curve.
    When shorter duration maturies yield is higher then longer term maturies
    .

    Question: is there a melding place here? ...where both would be true to a certain degree? Or does #2 have a point in it that needs tweaking...or is dependent upon something else before it is considered as part of the equasion?

    I read some of what Greenspan said, I realize not all reporters quote exactly. But if the stockchart in #1 above is accurate, and Greenspan had said `...are in inversion,' then would we havebeen seeing any green anywhere as we have been? And if he did actually say that, was it what he meant to say.....did he get his twords wisted??

    Inverted Yield Curve
    When long-term debt instruments that have lower yields than short-term debt instruments. It is sometimes also referred to as a negative yield curve.

    The issue is the lieing, the person attacks and the continued killing of good threads. He was banned said he would not attack again.

    There are some good folks on this board that I would love to communicate with.

    He is killing this board.


    I thought there was a rule on person attacks here???

    I get chasised from the moderator for scaring people by stating facts.

    This guy lies and attacks and all is well in TSPTALK land. Then says he will not comment if facts are posted and attacks the correct of his lie.

    Plain and simple lies.
