I don't know that you're wrong, but is the only reason you've ruled out the Fed monetizing because of the action in the currency and bond futures? and are those futures arenas big enough markets to accomodate a $40B+ bet?

Europe Bids Natural Gas Higher mcdep.com Futures prices for natural gas in Europe have reached some $12.50 a million btu (mmbtu) for the first quarter of 2006 (see chart U.K. and U.S. Natural Gas Futures). The level is 42% above oil converted at 6:1 and 58% above U.S. natural gas. While we may not understand all the dynamic forces, we believe that an increasing premium for natural gas relative to oil is warranted. The discount of U.S. natural gas price relative to crude oil price seems likely to reverse. Prices could change quickly with a hot summer or a cold winter.
