I would argue that a soft "boiling a happy frog" 2 by 4 is being delivered, which in fact is exactly the problem with the "measured" approach fiasco the Fed took. For instance, the 1 year CMT index is 3.80% (was 1.20 in March, 2004) after this morning. That adds up when speculators have to service payments on empty places, or decide to close on pre-construction option contracts. Now these crazies have some hard reality check thinking to do. So the Bubble ends as a combination of a soft 2 by 4, and boiling happy frogs. No surprise really, but apparently a surprise to those people out on high ledges.
