>>>One can only hope long term rates don't skyrocket while the current mess is being resolved. Just imagine what would happen to housing, the stock market and our financial institutions if the 10 year treasury suddenly jumped to 8-10%?<<< It could happen. If it starts to look as if the real dollar will be losing 10% per year to inflation, it will happen.

One can only hope long term rates don't skyrocket while the current mess is being resolved. Just imagine what would happen to housing, the stock market and our financial institutions if the 10 year treasury suddenly jumped to 8-10%? Why should they jump to 8-10% ? The government or some shady PPT-like outfit overseas can buy up the bonds to keep the L-T rates low? If that is so, and if/when that becomes known, what will happen to USD, gold, silver and oil????
