Could the current LBo mania be the result of some fat cats "smelling" hyperinflation on the way ? Or maybe somebody got a word that the Fed is about to start pegging long rates ( or already has) resulting in a mad scramble to borrow as much as possible ?

Speculative activity, while not yet frothy, is on the rise and will eventually undermine corporate bonds

Not yet frothy? WTF are they smoking?

That will be LIGHTS OUT regardless of what the yield on the long bond is and that is why

1) most here are wrong about the market cant crash when yields are low
2) why treasury yields are headed even lower
