we are heading temporarily down the Japan zero-rate path
that did nothing for their stocks, for a reason we share
NEITHER ECONOMY OFFERS CORPORATE PROFIT POTENTIAL

you are stuck in the conventional cycle thinking
this is not a typical business cycle
it is a structural correction in the debt, currency, and capacity world
corporate profit potential is just as shitty now as last year
and will be even shittier next year compared to now

bonds will likely continue rallying for a while longer
dunno how long though
since eventually they realize they are in the same kind of horrendous future-less corner that the USdollar found itself in
what is the future with a 4% 10-yr TNote ?
how about 3.9% 10-yr TNote ?

we are not Japan !!!
we are far worse, with no savings, tons of debts, and a huge foreign capital reqmt to fund our federal deficits and trade gap

THE NEXT US$ DOWNLEG STOPS THE BOND RALLY IN ITS TRACKS !!!

what we are seeing is the addition of yet another asset class at the
END OF THE ROAD
*** stocks, dollar, and soon bonds ***
then the rampup for GOLD takes wings
