		<description>According to Zero Hedge, countries outside of the U.S. dumped 74 billion dollars in U.S. Treasuries, most of it over the weekend:

&quot;Over the weekend, we observed the perplexing sell off of $56 billion in US Treasurys courtesy of weekly disclosure in the Fed&#039;s custodial account (source: H.4.1) and speculated if this may be due to an asset rotation, under duress or otherwise, out of bonds and into stocks, to prevent the collapse of the global ponzi (because when the BRICs tell the IMF to boost its bailout capacity you know it is global). We also proposed a far simpler theory: &quot;the dreaded D-day in which foreign official and private investors finally start offloading their $2.7 trillion in Treasurys with impunity (although not with the element of surprise - China has made it abundantly clear it will sell its Treasury holdings, the only question is when), has finally arrived.&quot; In hindsight the Occam&#039;s Razor should have been applied. Little did we know 5 short days ago just how violent the reaction by China would be (both post and pre-facto) to the Senate decision to propose a law for all out trade warfare with China. Now we know - in the week ended October 12, a further $17.7 billion was &quot;removed&quot; from the Fed&#039;s custodial Treasury account, meaning that someone, somewhere is very displeased with US paper, and, far more importantly, what it represents, and wants to make their displeasure heard loud and clear. (Source)


Undoubtedly, the Chinese and other countries have recently discovered that Italy and Greece, with smaller debt to income ratios than the United States, are less riskier and carry a higher rate of return. This is because, unlike the US, the Rothschild/Rockefeller bond rating agencies have trashed their country&#039;s debt ratings, forcing them to pay a much higher interest rate than U.S. Treasuries. Hey, if you take the risk, you might as well earn the reward!</description>

		<description>update.
Yesterday Jim Kinder dropped dead of a heart attack.  That pretty much takes any teeth out of this phone scam.  Susan Greene does not have the wherewithal to do it by herself.  Suggest you send her back the letter and tell her to put it where it belongs.</description>

		<description>Or perhaps the downgrade wasn&#039;t that significant to the markets because (a) S&amp;P&#039;s argument had already been made back in April, and (b) the &quot;rating&quot; of Treasury bonds is only really relevant in relationship to the (market&#039;s collective) &quot;rating&quot; of other alternative investments?  No matter what S&amp;P says or doesn&#039;t say, I think probably the relevant information is how risky Treasuries look in comparison to &quot;everything else available in the US markets&quot;.  If everything else in the markets looks more risky, then when S&amp;P tells us that Treasuries are also riskier than they used to be, (and this was fairly obvious to anyone reading the news about the debt-ceiling issues, right?) well, it doesn&#039;t have much effect in the real world, now does it?</description>

		<description>Preston, et. al.,
fyi, Susan Greene and James Kinder live together at 348 El Pedregal Drive, Solana Beach, CA 92075.  You are most likely corresponding with James Kinder not Susan Greene.  James (aka Jim) Kinder has quite a history of scams and harassment - try an internet search for him.  He is an interesting story (in a sick sorf of way).</description>

		<description>I couldn&#039;t agree more! This idiot is a typical Marxist Jew and nobody should take him seriously anymore.  And considering that Nobel prizes have only been awarded to morons, crooks, and war criminals for the last four decades, I think they&#039;re prestige is wearing thin.   

Some still say that Krugman is really just a liar,  rather than an idiot. Maybe that&#039;s true, but even if it is, he&#039;s still delusional (at the very least) because anyone who reads his crap can tell that he really believes it!</description>

		<description>Hi Preston,

This is post is very helpful.  I am in-hoouse counsel for a small corporation and we recently received a demand letter from her as well.  At first we ignored her, but she recently sent us a draft claim and has given us 3 days to respond.  We have been instructed to respond.  Would you be able to send me a copy of your response letter as well as any other relevant information you may have to assist in my response?

Thank you so much for your help.
