"given that there is no (acute) crisis." That we know of openly. What is behind Door #3 Or is it all hedge funds are trading one way? An impossibilty or is GS doing it again?

Yes, it has been very sharp, which begs the question if it will last. The coupon passes are about to start per Fed statement. The truth is, once they do start, we won't be able to track how much money the Fed actually creates, which begs the question about QEII under the table, also raised here. What I mean is that it will not be possible to track if they just reinvest the proceeds from MBS or print. Also, MBS default obviously amounts to printing. Roughly we can make a judgement from the size of the coupon passes and the size of the balance sheet, but that's all. They said they will just reinvest the proceeds, but who really trusts Ben with the printing press? -g- I don't think they HAVE to announce any printing they do.
