US T-bills: a safe bet in troubling times?

Posted on February 17th, 2009, by admin

To say that confidence in global markets is down lately would be a bit of an understatement. These days, investors large and small alike are looking for safer places to hold their capital until the storm clears and things start to settle down a bit.

 Many large institutions are gobbling up USD, but it’s not what you might think; they only want to purchase US short-term treasury bills, otherwise known as T-bills. They find these T-bills to be a safe bet in these troubling times, but some financial experts believe this is only a temporary fix.

 What happens when the T-bills mature a few months down the road? That’s a good question, and one that’s on the minds of many these days. Investors like Alex Stanczyk believe that eventually, the money that’s wrapped up in T-bills will flow into gold and silver.

 If you’re the slightest bit interested in gold investments, now’s the time to jump on board. You’ll definitely want to beat the rush of investors looking for somewhere to dump their capital when their T-bills expire!
