the printathon is extraordinary. betting against that becomes increasingly questionable if it continues. now the demand for funds is so extreme as to drive the FF rate to 10%? the WS leveraging machine must be desperate.

if anyone could please remind me WHY so much money needs to be printed? bubble needs to get bigger again? not big enough yet?

Motosan graciously replied to my email query re: the amount of repos this week. Accordding to him, the overnights have been all of this heavy before. But, what has not often been seen are the large overnights + two long-term repo's ( quasi-coupon passes ) and two genuine coupon passes in one week.

So, it has been rather heavy all in all. I was mistakenly fixated on the repos rather than the bigger liquidity jam-job underway.
