Right now they are pulling out every trick they have to goose-up the markets. Taxes on shorting are now higher than going long. Money market yields are below the inflation rate, and there is an ocean of cash in short-term investments being forced to look for higher returns. ...Still, it's likely just the fifth Bear Market rally in our current Bear... Foreign direct investment is dropping sharply... the dollar is on a multi-year slide... and rates on the 10 year Treasury are up 50 basis points in three weeks - despite all the government's efforts to keep them down.
