[@rmerlin733]

​@@wasdwasdedsf Your observation and comment appreciated. What's not brought into play is any 10 to 15+ year bond has multiple maturities between issue and final payout. 3 to 5 years rates are higher. It's the total average yield at say 4.4% over the entire bond life. So any investor can earn varying yiels as well as higher returns if the long term rate drops further. Those 4.4% them sell at premiums. So it's not just short vs long. Even there again there was no discussion about overnight rates set by the Fed everyday. Nor the comparison between bonds and notes. Yeah, a bit more complicated but Yellen is stupid. Riding the market trend is a cover. The Fed is a major market maker.

Shame to see this old lady lie so much.

[@lauriedavis329]

Obiden appointed her, she can say whatever she wants, including lies while under oath.

[@TheTellerwaescher]

Could you please explain where exactly she lied.

[@lauriedavis329]

@@TheTellerwaescher every time she opened her mouth. Are you paying attention to the questions and her answers, or the lack thereof?

[@jeffreyhanna9538]

I thought people of her age lived in the days when honesty was the best policy. I guess not!

She claims that she is not trying to time the market but then explains her actions by telling us how she is timing the market. In a way what she is saying makes sense but only if she is timing the market so she is still being dishonest in her answer.

She's the Least Qualified Woman for the Job...... Perfect!

[@billfargo9616]

She isn't doing anything more than repeating what she is paid to.

[@WilcoxNotreallythere]

She's a dual citizen. I'd consider her a spy

My Late Grandmother, who did not have any College degrees, was the most savvy financial Investor that was part of my life. She would have put that dope Yellen to shame.

Paying interest to a private company.What is the amount returned to the govt after fed expenses?

[@frankwolstencroft8731]

If it is OUR money, why are WE paying interest on it ?
