How smart do u think is it to lever up and buy 10-yr right now and hope for the cavalry to rescue me? Can the cavalry rescue me? Is there a cavalry?

I think you better look at the trend on Bernanke's balance sheet and the slosh before placing that bet. Its a bit..... disturbing.

The disconnect today between tnx and s&p shows that that light bulb did in fact just go off!

When the system is corrupt absolutely you must seek representation by those who are absolutely incorruptible.

I think that was the light bulb INSIDE The Fed - they didn't pay the electric bill.

I think the FCBs are the ones who are being cavalier.

Karl, forgive me for not reading this entire discussion, but:

Didn't you post a blog a while back on Bernanke's four (or five) things in his thesis that he was planning to do? The last one was to buy the long bond, to keep rates down, as he has exhausted all of the previous options. This was the last one left, you said.

Then you went on to explain what is going to happen after he does this....like the vicious downward spiral of US government funding?

Remember that post? I can't find it and would appreciated it if you might know where to look to re-read this masterpiece. Thanks!

I don't have the link handy and don't have time to look for it right now, but yes, I did a Ticker on it. Search should be able to find it.

if this bill passes the Senate- that could be the trigger smiley

I would LOVE to be a fly on the wall when Pelosi gets her CC cut up before she is able to spend 1 penny smiley

Good news, Mtgspy, there IS a calvary.

The bad news is that it's led by Benny "Custer" Bernanke.

The election is not a way to have a voice in government, but rather an impotent declaration if we prefer ketchup or mustard on our **** sandwich.

Yeah, Weezie. I also realized I may not be the best part to play damsel in distress, .... not looking very good in thong these days.

Well, we'd all be better off with you in the thong instead of Ben in the thong and Xie Xuren coming to the rescue. smiley

I don't know whether it has been mentioned yet, but the UK is soon to get its own version of the TARP, the APF (Asset Purchase Facility). Can't wait to read the fine print on that.
