Well, duh.
Nobody wants real estate or equities so where else are the speculators going to put their money?
In the stuff *everyone* has to pay for!

The expansions of the TSLF and the PDCF (which is sort of unnecessary, as the money center banks can always arbitrage with the IBs to dump to the TSLF) are unbelievably important. $250B of monetization, gee, where do you think a large portion of that capital was deployed?
Actually, that chart is even more compelling if you roll the start date back to Jan1, 2006.

May 21, 2008 at 10:35 PM #209475capemanParticipantI wanted to add the other facilities but I couldn’t get ahold of the TSLF and PDCF values. Those add about $200B more pushing the Fed to almost 60% of it’s balance sheet committed to mostly shady transactions.
Take the chart back to Jan 1 2006 and the DBC plot goes nearly flat for those two years. I might add that on if I can get all of the data.
