monetary inflation after shocks are the threat to LT rates
as are Chinese and Asian reluctance to finance our profligate way of life

we still have no violation to what I detect as a bullish Head & Shoulders pattern on the 10yr TNote yield
the right shoulder is resolving now, in full conflict
the upward bias neckline is what fools most chartists
note the strong support at 4.0 to 4.2% for two full quarters

the new year, as PIMCO's McCulley expects, will be marked by consistent attacks on the bond market
as LT rates rise all year long
he regards rising LT rates as the primary story of 2004

all the signals are there
fast rising money supply over the last three years (+35%)
rising CRB commodity index
falling USDollar
rising energy costs
these make for serious headwinds if your scenario of falling rates come to pass

I am certain the USGovt will monetize the bonds and the federal deficits in order to keep the lid on LT rates
BUT IN DOING SO, THEY WILL SACRIFICE THE USDOLLAR FULLY
we are pressuring backdoor price inflation
when it comes, it will be awwweeeeessssooooommmmmeee !!!

MishMan, we are in opposition consistently on this score
this is not surprising, since price inflation and price deflation are still very much in prominent position simultaneously

I believe monetary inflation and its delayed after shocks will roil the bond markets all year long
providing bigtime fodder for discussion
it will come as a surprise, since few expect it
they didnt expect a stock crush in late 2000 either

the failure of the bond market will serve as the final chapter in Chairman Greenspasm's failed legacy
