The Biggest US debt sale in 15yrs.

Does this mean that our Debt (Bonds) are about to go bad?

What the Heck are they suggesting?

Looks like the Global Slowdown has hit China, Brazil, etc.

Rite....that's what I said.

So,...the implications are "their economies" are slamming on the brakes.

That's what you said? No you asked if our debt was about to go bad and what they were suggesting in addition to a line about implications

Does not bode well for us because we depend on foreign countries "loaning" us money by buying Treasuries.
From the OP article countries have sold more than they bought for the last 10 months.

Add to that Walmart's big statement today. Walmart is the canary in the coal mine here.

Taking a look at every auction across all terms and bid to cover ratios show more than enough demand for the debt.

Looks like China is the biggest seller. Guess who is buying? Its time to check your 401(k) / 403(b) etc. Yields have been steadily dropping

China is selling to prop up its currency which is falling apart

If demand wasn't there or sellers overwhelmed buyers yields would being going up. If yields are dropping it means demand is going up.
