                              http://www.treas.gov/tic/lb_46019.txt

      can u help me to analyse the short and long term bills.
      SG is holding about US$ 31 billions,the top 16 th country holding US bills.
      Temasek and GIC are estimated holding US $ 100 to 300 billions of net
      assets.It seem SG can afford to hold this amount,despite the falling Dollar.

    • Since the subprime surface in mid 2007,other foreign countries still keep

      on incresaing their US bills in their portfolio,but not SG.

      Since May 2007,Foreign holding of US bills up 20% to May 2008.

      SG stock of US bills drops 10 % in the same period.Smart move!!

      No wander Tony Tan said they already sold some assets in 1Q and 2 Q 2007!!

      Intelligences count

      http://online.barrons.com/article/SB121581623724947273.html?mod=ba_mp_view&page=4

      This show US property peaked at 2 and 3 Q in 2006.

      Stock market reacted later.We only heard subprime

      in 2007!!

      Smart guys or harding working guys or dunt --follow--the--crowd guys

      can earn few bucks for SG.

      Kudos to money making guys

      Thanks guys.We still need lot of $$ to build schools,hospitals,computers

      for kids,and lot of HDB etc

      I am wandering how many economics /investments guys work for SG around

      the world 24/7,disregard their nationality!!

      i heard 40 % work in Temasek and GIC are foreigners.

      Well done bro and sis!!

      have i says the green back will falls forever?

      but no one know the future.

      If u add the 5 T Fannie's debts to existing 9.5 T federal debts,

      the total debts would be more than 100% GDP!

      Some pple said u have debts only u have good credibility!

      Honorable governments leave the money with the privaste sector to invest but dishonorable govenrments, like the despots here, grab the money and lose it to foreigners.


      That is why there are no Sony or Samsung in this despotic country.

      Warren Buffett

      Bought Wells Fargo only around Feb 08 I think. Still holding on to it. Recent dividends can still give 34 cents

      Jim Rogers -- commodities

    • i think the dollar's fall this time round is permanent.

      unlike in the 1970s, the usa no longer have gold peg to the currency.

      after dropping the gold standard, the currency's strength is largely base on US property prices and debt spending.

      now, it has reach a point where the USA is no longer able to repay its debt, and its property market doesn't look good either (even if it did 'recover', we all know that all this will happen again, if we are to depend on a property bubble to support the world's economy)

      it would be better to ditch the dollar for the RMB. China seems to be very very eager on soaking up US treasury bills... may as well sell our stock of us currency to them.
