p,

Exactly.

And, it also means that using long Treasury rates as an indicator of something is no longer meaningful. They may move in the direction that actually reflects economic fundamentals, but you can't claim the yield is truly reflecting that. The long end is now only a measure of how much money Bernanke will, "recycle" into them and nothing more.

It's nice for Bennie and Timmy, as it also helps perpetuate the illusion that the clownbuck and Treasuries are, "as good as gold".

Meanwhile, gold holds fast while the clownbuck rallies. And that does mean something.

>>Yields will go up when Bernanke gets tossed out on his balding dome, and probably not before.<<

are you proposing that the long end is coming down primarily as a result of actual fed purchases or the threat to do so?
