They did not do that in 2004, or 2005, despite "skyrocketing
Christmas demand". Personally, I have a lot anecdotal evidence
of major hedge fund sucking performance and drastically
reduced funds flows since the Amaranth Advisors fiasco. They
just can't make money on THIS volativity and THESE spreads.
More Amaranths on the way? Some weird stuff happened
to spreads in the debt market recently, could topple a few
of these hedge funds. Perhaps, the reason for increased
printing?

If this was just seasonal, all the Fed would have to do is push the TOMO to the high end of it's range, and then let it drain off in January. Instead they've injected large permanents into the system AND pushed the TOMO up.

Absolutely, responsible bartenders pull the punch bowl when the customers start trying to rip the toilets off the bathroom wall.
