Not so sure about your premise regarding the FED's inability to lead markets, Mr. GZ ....

I would suggest that they can lead any market they choose providing that:

a) They exist.
b) The dollar has value.
c) They can print, unfestered, any quantity of dollars they choose and buy or sell into any market they choose.
d) They have unfestered influence over market regulations and rules.

The history in the bond market these past several years would seem to prove these points. Debt beyond anything that could have been imagined has been created worldwide over the past decade yet interest rates have steadily ramped down.

Unless any of the above listed items change or show valid promise too, I don't see any reason why the Fed orchestrated ponzi scheme can't continue.

Perhaps timing of the historical bond short we are all dreaming about is better tied to the future potential containment of the Fed's powers via real Congressional action to do so. Frankly, and VERY unfortunately, this isn't even on the horizon that I am seeing ...
