Well apparantly a lot of people are chasing junk bonds. I don't think 10% annualized yield is good enough to cover defaults. The Bush tax cuts aren't being renewed, so not sure when the higher capital gains rates go into effect. On your first point, I'm not sure who to believe...is there little demand for bank loans or are banks credit standards so tight that those that actually should get loans aren't getting them. I can understand a lack of demand for loans, but if the banks just aren't lending for the sake of not lending, then they are the ones actually in control and the ones purposely causing the Great Recession.
