Banks aren't buying it today; could it be that flattening the yield curve spoils their free lunch? Giving the criminals on Wall Street another payday ends the banks' ability to park their money in Treasurys and fleece the public on the interest spread. Gonna be hard to recapitalize those banks on the backs of savers if the 1YR, 5YR, 10YR, and 30YR bonds are all yielding zero. `BC

>>I do not know much about quantum computers, but you have piqued my interest. Another rubber room exercise is to imagine what was there before the universe. The only answer that will enable me to stop is that it is folded. And then I wonder what is on the edge of the folds. And after a while, I seek out vodka and make it stop....<< A good book explaining quantum physics for the layman is the Quantum Zoo by Chown. We live in a quantum world. It is like magic. It is the very edge of knowledge, so it is important, IMO, to have at least a working understanding of it, especially if you are raising children, so you can explain the basic tenants of it to them. There are probably an infinite number of universes. One of the strange things about quantum physics is it has been proven something can come out of nothing and anything can happen (Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle) and all vacuums have energy. Drag a virtual particle (they are popping in and out of our universe constantly) through an energy field and it become real. When I said we are all sick, what I meant is that we are all more delusional than we think. And we all create a reality that is not nearly as resonable or sophisticated as we think. I always said the brass ring of wisdom is having some grasp of one's ignorance.
