      Shrinking Outstanding CDS
      The notional value of CDS is the entire monetary amount of all contracts for a specific entity. If counterparty A engages with counterparty B who engages with counterparty C, the notional value of the swap contracts will be larger than the amount of real money that actually gets exchanged in the case of a default. The downside to that is that if one of the counterparties also defaults, one of the entities that thought they were covered with protection actually is not, and then they must come up with the payment. That is the systemic risk in the system; luckily the settlements have gone smoothly and losses have been significantly less than what many expected. By compressing contracts, the notional value decreases and the amount of untangling in settlement events will be much less difficult.

      Effects of the Long Dated Treasury Bubble
      I share the same question as Rhunzzz. It's not that we can't pay the debt down, it's that we won't take the necessary measures to do it in enough time before it get's truly out of control. That time is approaching quickly though.

      The CDS World Depends on Italy and Spain - Who Knew?
      Look at how few contracts those are though. Could it be possible they took the insurance out on themselves?

      Is Short Covering Really Propping Up the Markets?
      Thanks for doing the leg work with this. I understand where mekats is coming from, but ultimately, we do not know becuase there is no transparency with the hedge funds. Duh, right.

      Friday's Bond Outlook: Bursting of the Treasury Security Bubble? (Update)
      Direxions and ProFunds both have Treasury short funds. Direxions is 2.5 times.

      SWRichmond - As John mentions, the Treasury auctioned off $40 billion in securities earlier this week that still may be running through the system. Such a huge auction dilutes current supply in the market, driving price down.

      It could very well also be loss of confidence, but there really isn't anywhere else to go...

      The Cramer Crash?
      I agree, what did he think he was going to do by saying that in such a public arena. He also published an article in NY Magazine yesterday - as noted in another Seeking post.

      Gold Is Set to Regain Its Shine
      dlaw, analyze what you said. People need money and the easiest way to do that is to PRINT it. When money is printed, its supply increases and the paper money is worth less. Expand your time horizon and consider the mess the United States is in financially and you should certainly come up with a different response.

      Is the Dollar Safe?
      Great comment by Chris B. He is right on target. Last Friday's announcement that the People's Bank was undercapitalized was a precursor to Sunday's bailout. The way to get that capital back is to increase the value of the holdings, AKA bailout Fannie and Freddie so there will actually be buyers returning to the market.
