Rob-- thanks for your posts. On the liquidity issue I differ. That is why I have been posting about Japan. Japan is raising money by selling bonds without raising liquidity to wash the sale. This means they are bringing funds back home out of US treasuries, driving up their rates and ours at the same time as driving down our dollar. This is a Japanese liquidity squeeze on our market -- and it is large, and it is happening as we speak. The target is to raise $400 billion now, and the money is flowing out of our market. As bond yields rise it will slow our economy a bit and it will lead to asset allocation from stocks. We are entering a liquidity crunch. AG must be smiling over this one. This talk about a rock and a hard place and his hands are tied -- oh boy, he is getting his birthday wish and he doesn't have to raise rates. In fact if he did it might spoil the party.
