The same old Fed bubble stuff. Fed said "quantitative easing", whispering it into the ear of BAC, C, JPM, WFC - derivative players pile up with trillions (500 Trillion, mind you). Rates control everything. The break could be spectacular, unless of course... the Fed goes into infinite printing mode, which also may happen. Bond holders will lose anyway, but one will have to short the dollar. I'm kinda betting on the second scenario, given the Fed trends. Of course, what the Fed does is extremely important for this trade. Even though bonds will lose and are already losing money, they can lose in different ways. We are talking about printing trillions, but I am confident in Ben's ability to do so, he proved himself. -g-
