The economy won't collapse for a long time if the 30 yr treasury is at 3%. How can you possibly know that? Japan proved it can happen at 1% Mish

Maybe that's the plan. 3%...2%....1%.....Maybe the S&P500 will trade at a 40 p/e and that will be considered cheap because the dividend yield is in excess of long treasuries. So, what are we waiting for? Why don't we jump with both feet into all speculative trades? They are all very safe with yields (long and short) going back down to 1%. Sea of liquidity lifting all the asset classes. Why work when we can live off shuffling the paper? Who needs real goods production? Leave it to the Asians.
