We�ve survived the tech bubble and the housing bubble, but are we headed for something more catastrophic than either of those?� Some experts are beginning to fear the worst.<br><br>Let�s review recent financial events. The meltdown in the global financial markets created a wave of panic and a surge of money has poured into what has always been considered safe�short-term U.S. Treasury securities.� This basically means that investors are willing to put faith in and lend money to the government.� Primarily because, even though our national debt stands at staggering $10.59 trillion, and is still growing, the U.S. has never failed to meet a debt payment. This sudden appetite for Treasuries has driven yields down to their lowest levels since the Great Depression. <br><br>Over the past couple of months, the Feds have funneled massive amounts into bailout packages upsetting the government�s balance sheet.� When you add a soaring U.S. deficit into the mix, you get a situation that�s causing sleepless nights for anyone that�s paying attention.<br><br>How Low Can They Go?<br><br>We�ve been waiting to see just how low interest rates on Treasury securities could go before the rapid stream of investments would dry up.� It now appears that even zero is not too low.  If you have any type of questions regarding where and how you can make use of bubble shooter pet, you could contact us at our own site. One day during the second week of December, the annualized yield on three-month T-bills in the secondary market hit the minus zero level, down to negative 0.01%, then later that same day it rose to positive 0.01%.<br><br>This means that investors are so fearful of the markets, but still have enough faith that the U.S. government, they are willing to risk getting less money upon maturity than they originally invested, and earn no interest along the way. <br><br>The Treasury hasn't had to auction new T-bills at a negative rate yet, but on December 8, they actually sold $30 billion in four-week T-bills at a yield of exactly zero. Anyone who bought those can sell them in four weeks, but not for one penny more than they paid for them. At that rate, you could have just as easily stuffed a fistful of $100 bills into a coffee can and buried it in the back yard.<br><br>You might be wondering who would be willing to buy Treasury debt for little or no return?� It turns out that there were plenty lined up to buy�some who probably no longer have back yards�so many in fact that the Feds reportedly could have sold up to four times as much as they did.

In fact, about half of the nation's $5.3 trillion in publicly traded debt is held by countries like Japan and China. That means a significant down shift in Treasury prices would lead to the decline of the US dollar, a threat of hyper-inflation and finally, a depression.� <br><br>And yet, even though the U.S. has the dubious distinction of having kicked off the firestorm of global economic meltdown, our government bonds are still considered the safest investments in the world.<br><br>What�s in Store?<br><br>Just like we all thought that the price of homes could only go up, we now know that it�s that kind of irrational exuberance that blind us what�s coming.��Jim Grant of Grant's Interest Rate Observer recently commented on CNBC, "There's more risk in things people think are inherently safe, including cash and Treasuries, vs. the things people perceive as risky." <br><br>It appears that even though Treasury yields are at an all time low, even institutional investors are more concerned about preserving capital than they are in getting higher returns. Treasury interest rates are already at or near zero. <br><br>If things get worse, and they slip further into negative return territory, would investors actually be willing to pay the government to hold their money for safe keeping?� So far, there is no indication that things will get that dire. Although, since none of the rules we�ve lived by these past few decades seem to apply anymore, we can�t speculate on the future. <br><br>We think that Treasury interest rates will probably remain low until some time mid-2009, or at least until the recession begins to lighten up.� If the skittish market keeps the fear factor alive, people will keep moving money into the Treasury for safekeeping, low interest rates or not.

Information is spread these days that Apple has taken an extra measure to secure being a step ahead of its competitor. The eternal battle between the Apple's iPhone and Google's Android is once again showing. Choosing Apple or Android operative system is basically a thing of religion! Everyone plays on different teams. It's practically two opposite parties. So what does it take to change the mind of a person? Is a simple bribe enough to switch people from Android to Apple? Would you accept this bribe and change your Android smartphone to a brand new iPhone?

Although Android operative systems kind of have the bigger section of the smartphone market, Apple is the one who always tries to reach toward higher class and expensive gadgets. So, the question arises - Is Apple that desperate to practically pay people and bribe them in order to use their iPhones?

Apple stores have decided to start offering gift cards to customers who will in exchange trade in used smartphones, such as the ones that use Google's operative system Android. This means that if you wished to switch from Android smartphone to Apple's iPhone, this is the right time to do it, cause Apple is definitely giving you a lot of reasons to do that now! This gift card can be used as partial payment for your new iPhone, which basically means you are getting your new phone on discount.

These gift cards are given for trading-in not only Android, but also Blackberry smartphones, although the main focus was primarily towards Samsung's smartphones which work on Android operative systems.

Before the launching of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus, Apple was definitely going in the downward spiral. Its sales decreased and the focus of the general population turned towards Samsung's Galaxy S and Galaxy Note. However, the two new launches of iPhone models (iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus) have helped Apple get on top again and re-establish its dominant position in the market of smartphones.

As the popular Apple blog "9to5mac" reports, it's expected that Apple retail stores soon begin to offer gift cards to all of the customers who will in exchange bring any kind of a used smartphone, including of course smartphones that use Google's operative system Android... Well, especially if it's an Android one!

This is not a completely new concept that we see from this company. Apple has already organized such trade-ins in the past, if you remember the Apple Reuse and Recycling Program that was launched in year 2013. That program was about letting all the current iPhone users trade their older version of iPhone for a newer one with a calculated discount. Well, this trade-in program is expected to be something similar to that one. The difference between the Reuse Recycling Program from 2013 and this new one that's expected to happen soon is that the first one was organized mainly to allow people to upgrade to newer versions of the iPhone and promote these new models, but this new program sounds a bit more as a bribery.

The Apple blog "9to5mac" recently quoted unknown sources by saying that this new program is expected to begin in the following couple of weeks.

When this program starts, employees in the Apple retail stores will be able to help all customers getting used to their new Apple iPhone. Employees will be trained to help customers transfer their contact lists from a non-Apple phone (read: Android) to an iPhone. However, customers will be responsible for transferring any other data they now want on their new iPhone.

This new program is happening at the exactly right time for Apple. It's coming up right when Apple re-established its position and dominance as a superior in the market of smartphones.

The main reason that Apple was declining before the launching of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus is because of Samsung and the launch of its Galaxy S and Galaxy Note smartphone models. This was the time when Apple kind of started losing the battle. However, after the launching of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus, Apple went right back on top. iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus were made with bigger display screens, and could comfortably be a reasonable competition for the Samsung models.

Apple's going back on top was noticeable immediately in the first quarter after the launching of these two models in September, with an incredible sale of 74.5 million iPhones.

These recent months, Apple has been aggressive in courting owners of smartphones (actually, needless to say - mostly Android smartphones).

In the upgrade of their operative system that was released at the same time as the launching of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus, Apple also posted a guide on their website which showed detailed instructions on what's the right way to transfer data information from an Android phone to a new Apple iPhone.

Although Apple as a company has a sky-rocket success right now, they don't stop here. As always, their new improved editions and innovative thoughts are the main thing moving Apple forward, and the main thing that helps them always one step ahead of its competitors.

So, what's the next big thing we can expect from Apple?

The next big news from this company will arrive this fall, and we will be able to see and purchase the next generation of iPhones - iPhone 7. Right now not much is known as to what to expect with the new iPhone. The first information there is about what features we should expect in the new iPhone 7 is the wide range of colours... Especially the information that pink is one of the colours available in which you can purchase this new iPhone 7. If you cherished this article and you would like to obtain more facts about bubble shooter pet kindly check out our own internet site. Another new thing expected to be available in this new model is the so-called "Force Touch" feature. This feature will allow the touchscreen to measure how hard a user presses the screen and then respond with accordance.
