>>I think initially (as in now) homies are following 10 yr treasuries but just as gold disconneted with the US$, homies will disconnect from treasuries. In fact, I see a distinct liklihood that mortgage rates themselves disconnect from 10 year treasuries.<<

I think that's possible as long as the FCB's continue to agree to finance our deficits. In that scenario, long rates stay flat while the housing bubble deflates. If they decide to decrease (not necessarily start to sell their portfolio, mind you) long bond purchases though, rates will climb and the housing bubble will make a Hindenburg-style soft landing. Domestic investors just don't have the means or ends to take up the slack for the size deficits being run.....
