Is Cash really Trash?

It seems the Cleveland Police agree with Robert Kiyosaki, "Cash is Trash"

I wonder if the guy had dropped a Morgan Silver Dollar on the ground would have the cops ticketed him for littering or tasered him for circulating constitutional money?

CLEVELAND -- A judge has dismissed the case of an Elyria man ticketed for littering after giving money to a homeless man.

A Cleveland police officer fined John Davis $344 after the money fell to the ground as he handed it out of his vehicle window to the homeless wheelchair-bound man on May 17. The donation came at a busy freeway interchange.

The judge threw out the case on the basis that money didn't constitute trash. (LOL the judge threw out the trash case! - that's gold, Judge Judy never comes out with such puns)

Davis said he is relieved by the decision and talked to reporters afterwards.

"I'm happy. It's done. It's over and they dropped it. 'Would you have done anything differently?' Yes. 'What?' Not hand money out the window to anybody."

Swiss Debt Is Now Repaying Itself

This is a very bad thing, funds are so scared that they are willing to pay a premium to ensure they are holding an instrument that they feel will still be worth something between now and 2 years time.

The Swiss National Bank may have pegged the EURCHF (and as noted earlier, is progressively accumulating losses defending the barrier - even as EURCHF options are leaning further and further towards the peg breaking), but what about its bonds? At the current rate, Swiss debt, which is quite negative, with 2 year bonds now trading at record NEGATIVE rates, will repay itself quietly in a few short decades: ahhh the benefits of compounding. And for an example of how this is done, hours ago, the government issued debt at a rate of 0.62%. Oh sorry, we forgot the negative sign.
