I agree, it's amazing: long bond up over 5% (!), Dow Industrials down over 1%, SOX and DOT up nearly 2%. With apologies to Sam Beckett, things can't go on like this. -mb

Lower rates and risk further moonshot of the equities at the expense of dollar? Or, STFU and swallow the insult? BTW, has he been confirmed by the Senate yet? If he is already confirmed, a BK soon after his confirmation and Slick's last state of the union address would be a perfect poetic justice to the financial markets. I know, I am a dreamer!
