One-Hundred-Year Bonds? Read & Weep!

That’s what a lot of analysts and economists are now proposing.
Guys like Larry Kudlow, consulting to President-elect Trump,
and in line for the Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors.
Heck, why not? Other countries are now issuing long-term debt.
Ireland and Belgium issued 100-year debt. Austria issued 70-year
debt. Italy, France, and Spain issued 50-year debt. And Japan
pushed out a 40-year maturity and is now considering 50 years.
Mexico, believe it or not, has already issued three 100-year
bonds since 2010. Britain’s U.K. Treasury has issued 40- to
50-year bonds seven times. Here’s the thinking:

these puppies 'till maturity, I would be 172 years old! Oh

Renyolds!"
