Anything goes......no MTM, no accountability and well said.-vbg- "I think tracking QE (not operation twist) and the budget deficit should provide the answer to this question. At present the Fed is in operation twist mode, which means they are just rotating money from short term bills to long term bonds. That said, the debt based monetary system is so screwed up that it's impossible to know how exactly the Fed's printing influences prices. What makes matters so complicated is that all so-called "money" is debt. Fed can create it, banks can too! The Fed normally just targets interest rates, not doing QEs left and right, and that itself creates new money and inflation! Govt. statistics is screwed up. Welcome to the Brave New Old World without the gold standard. It's simply too complicated a task for one to figure out WTF is going on with our currency. "
