George: Maybe market is telling everyone we believe the Fed is powerful enough to get a recovery underway, or to pump so much liquidity into the system while forcing short rates down that some kind of jolt forward is going to take place. Sure does not look like the long(er) end of the yield curve believes the worst is still ahead, or even that existing weakness will continue for very long at all.

If so, are we not transitioning right now and an effort to look at valuations difficult? The E of the P/E seems to be believed by the Street to be coming (or at least demand for capital in coming) and if this is just a transitory snapshot where the E is gonna go up and the D (demand for capital) is gonna go up....where do you place your bets?

Edit: Trading appears pretty thin, too, so I don't know if the price swings can be read too clearly.

George, IMO this trend will be reversed. Every serious article I read say no inflantion ahead, even if economy rebound.
I'm following CRB Index and its up since October but still in downtrend.

George about your post Horrendous day for bonds this article from Paul Krugman could answer some questions.

Alan Greenspan has much less ability to move the economy than anyone expected. And it's partly his fault.
