TIPS went negative yield on Monday.
Anticipating inflation??
http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSN2527792620101025%5B/quote%5DNegative yields on TIPS signals deflation. Paul Krugman has been writing about how all signs point to deflation for over a year now (although no one on this board is likely to give him any credit for it).

Pamphlet indicates nothing bad can happen from quantitative easing.
[/quote]Pamphlet lies. Something bad is already happening due to QE. Supposedly, the latest trend on Wall Street is for companies to issue debt in order to buy back their shares. They can do this because QE has pushed interest rates to near zero.
So companies like IBM with $10 billion in the bank are actually selling bonds and using the money to buy back their shares. Such a practice is not likely to end well and also helps to further explain why the stock market has become totally divorced from the economy.

The market is expecting the Fed to buy a cool trillion in bogus bonds after the election. The market is up on anticipation of where all that funny money is going to go.
