The "here's Margot Robbie in a bubble bath to explain," scene in "The Big Short." Robbie is saying "so now he's going to 'short' the bonds," referring to Michael Burry's use of CDSs to bet against the US housing market ahead of the GFC. Burry recently closed his fund after exposing it to a huge naked put on AI darling Palantir. It's sometimes said that we find out who's not wearing pants when the tide goes out. Burry was on the beach as it still rolled in. Robbie, despite being in hot water, is fully covered. I guess we'll find out about Ellison.

Three paragraphs from the linked article... the highlighted one bracketed by ‼️ here. « In fact, those U.S. financial assets represent claims on future U.S. production. Thus, when foreign central banks and investors purchase trillions in Treasury bonds, they're essentially deferring their consumption of U.S. goods and services to some unspecified future date. Rather than letting foreigners continue accumulating these future claims on U.S. output, the Trump administration's goal is to see those claims exchanged for current production, creating jobs and higher incomes for Americans today. ‼️ That's why threats to 'dump US Treasuries' aren't threats at all — they're promises to buy more American exports! If foreigners sold $1 trillion in US bonds, those dollars would ultimately flow back to purchase $1 trillion in American-made goods and services. ‼️ Capital flow tools aren't about restricting trade — they're about redirecting foreign dollars from Wall Street to Main Street. »
