Ian Mathias (The Daily Reckoning):
The U.S. government will finish its historic streak of debt sales today with a record $16 billion offering of 30-year bonds. This will pile on top the $65 billion in 3-year and 10-year paper auctioned earlier this week, both records in their own right.

What’s that hiss? Bond sales break record, but “investors” demand higher yields…U.S. budget deficit sets annual record… in just 4 months! Key trading signals from one of our resident options analysts… Data still disappoint… housing, jobs, retail improve slightly, but still in the dumps… Last, Dubai in danger… foreigners flee so hurriedly they’re leaving cars behind…
