"I believe that world stock markets are about to feel more repercussions of the recent US Long Bond selloff. The selloff could be led by the realisation that many U.S. lending institutions that are heavily invested in US Treasury Bonds are grappling to balance the books as the prospect of debt default and higher cost of borrowing combine to put pressure on credit and property prices. Just have a look at what has happened to the share prices and trends of Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae and even J.P. Morgan in the last few weeks." victor hugo

The Problem With These People And Their Printing Press Is they don't believe in the market. The fact is excessive money creation means long term rates will go up. It doesn't matter if it is because the stimulus worked and the economy will be booming or the stimulus failed and we have stagflation. There is nothing that would doom our fiat money system, and for that matter the economic world as we know it, than any attempt to by CB's to control long term interest rates. Assuming that they are not so suicidal (yet) the Fed and the Banksters know what needs to happen if they want to bring down long term rates.
