Participant[quote=SD Realtor] IMO those will not happen for awhile yet. I am not a bond market expert though so I don’t know. [/quote]
Lucky for you, I have considerable knowledge of the bond market and fed policy. All I can say is trust me…the bond market is a bubble just waiting to burst. Back in Q1 when the Feds finally realized that demand for US treasuries was weakening, they took drastic measures of last resort…measures that Bernanke was hoping to avoid. Which is to say, the Feds started buying US treasuries in what some might describe as a last ditch panic effort to avoid a depression. So far, Bernanke’s actions seem to be working in the short term, as buying treasuries has had the effect of lowering mortgage rates to record low levels – and as a result, has created a real estate buying frenzy among investors and first timers.
The problem for the Fed, and they are openly discussing it now, is in order to avoid a depression, they have created inflation, and potentially hyper inflation.

ParticipantBob I am not a bond market expert nor am I a novice. I do have access to some very expert bond market guys though. I have been waiting for th ebond market to pop for quite a long time but am out of the guessing business for it.
The current administration is not going to let the bond market pop. Even if they have to give the entire state of Alaska to China, I do not seem them letting that market roll over just yet. Things are entirely to fragile right now so they need to slow roll the process just like everything else.
Look back at previous posts and we have discussed all of this as nauseam so you are not really bringing anything new to the table. We all admit it will pop, we all admit that we could/should see double digit interest rates like the 80s and the only disagreement is when.
If you think Obama is gonna let this happen in the next few months or even a year I disagree entirely. It doesn’t matter what he has to put up as collateral.
