The Great Robustini ...!!!




"When things are unpredictable,
it helps to be unaccountable...."

Thought you might like a quick update on the continuing melodrama of "missed-by-a-bit more-than-a-mile" interest rate forecasting by those infamous robusterians....





                          1/2/14     12/31/14     1/6/15

  5-yr T-bill           1.72%     1.65%      1.44%    

10-yr T-bill           3.00%     2.17%      1.92%

30-yr T-bill           3.92%     2.75%      2.53%


  ...  would be humiliating, humbling - or at least embarrassing - for most folks !

Did the NCUA ever publish their interest rate projections for 2014 or for any other year?

Think NCUA's general forecast of rates provided to individual credit unions has been:

"We don't have one, but we don't like yours."

Another famous quote " we've agreed to cover it ". Stated in response to the cost of the NCUA caused data breach. Does the Queen mean she will write a check? Or does "we've" refer to the already over charged credit unions?
