People will be less interested in long term bonds that have a yield lower than the current rates. This makes those old bonds less valuable as people scramble to get the bonds with higher yield. Why loan the government money at 3% if you can be guaranteed 5%?
If you want to stay in bonds and you believe the US will need to keep raising rates to convince people to buy US debt, you can buy very short term bonds. STIP (which is an ETF) for example are very short term bonds so you can keep getting the higher rates.
So if you think that Trump will continue to do things that reduce faith in the stability of the US government then yes, dump the bonds.
I didn't think you ever needed to say allegedly when you are talking about a law suit. The plaintiff is suing for misleading consumers, not for allegedly misleading them.
But what do I know.
They might as well say the plaintiff is allegedly suing the alleged defendant for allegedly misleading the alleged consumers and cover all the asses.
This money will never touch the hands of those who's privacy was exploited.
The money will go to Texas and lawyers.
Google will do it again because they now have knowledge of the price of breaking the law. States will sure and make money and citizens will pay the real price.
Please don't underestimate the ignorance and stupidity of the current administration and please stop giving them ideas that they would be unlikely to find on their own.
In the end they are using a filter to "filter out patterns". This seems like it will undo all the effort to make the numbers random.
Once you've run a sequence through a filter you will end up with a pattern I would think.
