Liberty bond 10000 joke

Someone told me a little joke the other day which is a variation of a joke which has been around quite some time. It happened that an elderly businessman philanthropist was enjoying a cup of tea in his top-floor office one fine day when one of his assistants walked in with an old bottle, telling his boss that it had been found in a tin box which had been left and forgotten in one of the many storage rooms in his office building. The maintenance crew was cleaning out old stuff to make room for new stuff and this was something they were going to throw away. The philanthropist took the bottle and blew away some accumulated dust which was probably at least a hundred years old. After the assistant left, the philanthropist stared at the bottle for a while. He finally decided to take the cork off just for the sake of curiosity. Immediately, a Genie popped out and very politely greeted the elderly gentleman. In gratitude for his being given his freedom, he told the philanthropist that he would grant him any wish. The philanthropist immediately and eagerly took out a map of the Middle East and pointed to the region near Lebanon. He asked the Genie if he recognized it. The Genie said he had known that region for more than 40 thousand years. The elderly gentleman then explained that in his old age, he would like to see if this entire region could be made peaceful once and for all. The Genie sadly shook his head and told the man that even the most powerful Genie would probably not be able to grant that wish. Did he have something else that he wished for dearly? The man was quite disappointed but said he did have something else he wished for. He had been trying to find a buyer for an old Liberty bond he owned - could the Genie find him a buyer for his Liberty bond 10000? The Genie looked at the man very seriously for a couple of seconds and just grinned. Then, he asked the elderly gentleman if he would let him take another look at the map of the Middle East - perhaps there was a way after all .... 

Liberty bond 10000 buyer

Here we go again. I have been apprised of a buyer who is offering 3 million for a Liberty 10000 bond. The deal is to go attorney to attorney - no other way. I hope she doesn't find it before I get a bite from a real seller. Just email me at pronetoviolins at g mail dot com IF you have it. OR if you know someone who has it. I know the offer is "low" but it's real. It is far better than being offered 100 million when the "buyer" is nonexistent. As the man says, anyone can say it. Who can actually do it? 

Mexican bond brokers

If you're in the historical bond business, you know full well that deals are hard to come by, especially when you want to sell a high-end bond. I have come to know more than fifty brokers, perhaps five real sellers, and just two real buyers. When I say "real," I mean someone with capacity to close a deal. It's one thing to have a lot of enthusiasm for the transaction and something else to have the capacity to do it. The real buyers I know - one in the Western U.S. and the other in New York - don't just talk, they negotiate and close. Buyers from Europe are non-existent as far as I know. Beware of brokers who try to sell your bonds in Europe. If they do, you'll get pennies for them. Beware of brokers who ask for complete packages. That's a sign someone will use your bonds for collateral for a bridge loan while you sit there waiting to be paid. It's definitely best to do these deals attorney-to-attorney or bank-to-bank. As far as brokers go, I would say they are all very hopeful - some are outright dishonest - some are misinformed - but very, very few are well-connected. A word to the wise.
