Yoni,

I believe Ashraf always quotes on the close basis, and when he means high and low, he says so.

Apple is obviously overpriced for its product innovation. The competition will catch up rather soon. But Apple's destiny path has always been set by its closed architecture philosophy. We've seen that before

Sorry for the off-top

Catnip,

Time for a discussion on what a risk free rate is in the current environment?
:))

Seriously though, I would presume this must be something rather technical. CDS contracts are thing of their own, there are contracts out there for sovereigns that DON'T have any sovereign debt.

Just a thought

DO all those buying gold and silver in droves today know something about Portugal that we don't yet ? :)

Also, Ashraf,

Looking at the steepeners, 2y10y and, especially seemingly topping 2y30y, one would presume this rally has less than a month life support left to it. Would you agree?

Ashraf, what's the story with the Euro, gold and silver today?

Up on all cylinders? Eur/chf up to 1.31?

ECB drained actually liquidity from the market, plus the pro rate hike retorics is back.
But watch Portugal yields! ABove 7 per cent! If this does not come down shortly, a story of Greece and Ireland to be revisited as that's unsustainable
