Looks like the Fed's sycophantic statements this weekend have kind of swamped the Japanese currency intervention this AM, as the USD quickly cratered afterwards. Chalk up another multi-billion dollar daily loss for Japanese taxpayers. What a scam. I think a foreign panic is underway. The OMO replacement of $16.25B later this AM will be telling and illustrative of Fed intentions. Think they'll do something half ass, and replace about $12B? The Bernanke-Greenscam message to the Asians, Ok, bend over, hold your ankles, here goes: Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop.

Fed policy ever, no reason why T-bonds yields cannot surge to 6% or more despite a 1% funds rate. I agree and that is why I am not playing treasuries. Although I agree I do not think it is likely. In fact I think it is unlikely, but the most likely thing of all IMO is that the FED keeps rates low until at least the election. If we get a stock selloff in February (and we usually do) the FED will not be considering haikeing into that. March will come and go without a hike and then we see where we are headed into the election. M
