Well, I'm glad some people read this, but I am looking for some help analyzing this important money printing variable, as I think it's about the only thing supporting and rallying markets now. Even outside articles would be appreciated. I could use some technical assistance too, for example, how do astute central bank watchers measure securities lending? Is it as "high octane" as say foreign custodials, or permanents? In otherwords when one observes large securities lending and temp injections like we saw this week, but no coupon passes, light bought outrights, and average foreign custodial purchases, how should that be construed? I'm inclined to think a bit tighter, but anybody care to counter, good debate point?
