TH, even if bernanke thinks rates won't go down if he spends billions on treasuries, he may keep buying them if he thinks that rates will go up if he stops.

while he can't control absolute rates the way he wants, if he thinks he's keeping them lower than they otherwise would be, he might keep printing.

i tend to think we get a nice big fat depression scare before we start to see real inflation.

i do think the fed will pull back liquidity and tell goldman sachs to stop buying stocks with their printed trillions, though.

that doesn't bode well for the markets and should lower rates.

i do think ben realizes he can't have a hot stock market *and* low rates.
