Gonna be hard to recapitalize those banks on the backs of savers if the 1YR, 5YR, 10YR, and 30YR bonds are all yielding zero.

They'll just roll the $ into equity markets with a wink and a nod from Benny and the Jets and keep the recapitalization going.

brother bc,

Right. That is part of the plan too. To force the banksters from playing the free ride game with the Fed and force them to find a return elsewhere. And there is the problem, no matter what Bennie does, he can't push demand. So, those banksters are going to have a difficult time moving all that capital currently playing the spread to a more <productive> investment.

All this does is delay what must come.

And, bonds are now a game of musical chairs with death metal playing. I don't know where and when it will end, but it will. It is complete madness that the Fed games the market yet again with announced purchases with printed money. But hey, we should be used to it and expect even more innovation from Bennie after this game fails. And it will.
