1. Negative Yield Bonds

   What’s the end game with negative yield sovereign bonds? $16 to $19 Trillion being issued is mind boggling. Why don’t they just buy US treasuries with a plus yield? Or why doesn’t China issue positive bonds? Seems like a crazy thing … then (I’m For Sale) Greenspan says that the US ‘may’ have them in our future.

   I just don’t get it …. apologies if you’ve covered this before …

   Thanks !!

   1. Where yields go when the people who are printing money are buying all the bonds. Estimates are that the Bank of Japan now owns 50% of bonds issued and 25% of Japanese stock float. So what happens when the central banks own all of the bonds and all of the stock market? Note Mark Carney’s statement that we need to create a new global crypto currency so we are not dependent on the dollar.

3. President Trump has just announced the establishment of a space force, saying, “It’s all about space”. Well, you predicted this at the Secret Space Programme back in 2014 and more recently with your report on the Space Based Economy last year. This should convince everyone that Solari is essential reading/listening for trying to understand our world. Brava.

      I appreciate the kind words. For me this comes down to time. How do I use my time to understand my world? If we reallocate significant amounts of time from watching and reading the day to day news in controlled media, to understanding the deeper trends – increased investment in space, the rise of Asia, the push to urbanize into megacities – we can build an excellent framework to understand the day to day news and to decrease the chances that we are mislead. Open source intelligence can tell us a lot about where things are going.

   Some years ago you wrote a very helpful piece in which you “translated” a statement put out by the Yellen-led FOMC. If time permits, I ask you to share your view of likely future monetary actions given what was analyzed by DiMartino-Booth on 6/14/19 of the June 4th Chicago Fed conference. The info below links you to a 17 minute audio where she shares her thinking. Thanks in advance and I do understand if lack of time does not permit addressing my question. J

      You should listen to Deep State V where I talk about helping someone write speeches for George W. Bush.
