good point dimedimenickel....treasuries are getting hammered....
crude oil is up 3 bucks and gold is up 31 dollars...looks to me like the institutional investors are done surpressing energy prices and gold.
Those crude oil and gold bets are end game bets.......

that doesnt make sense to me
how would so called tighter monetary policy lead equities higher?
id expect the opposite, as that would mean continued credit contraction in the aggregate, which means lower prices.

As I read it ..on USA Today "The perception around the world is if Obama is re-elected the deficit will keep going up and there will be a lack of fiscal discipline" and the opposite if Romney wins......

the ignorance on matters of such importance, is overwhelming.
posts twenty seven and twenty eight suggested treasuries are down big and treasuries are getting hammered. i guess people dont understand that rates on tbills have inverse relation to their price. lower rates mean treasuries are getting more expensive, not getting hammered. there is literally unlimited demand for tbills

Be Easy- Unlimited demand for T-bills??????
Better check your loop Frenchie......if China ever decides to dump a portion of the Tbills they own on the market in order to hedge the their sizeable bond postition, the Feds won't be able to give that shit away.
The only thing that makes USA T-bills worth anything is the perception that our country and government are bulletproof. With the recent downgrading of our credit ratings as a nation, that will certainly change.
Unless of course they decide to back a new version of the T-bill with somesort of collateral.....a likely canidate could be the massive amount of homes that the Federal govenment now owns due to restructuring of lenders' balance sheets and the dissolution of certain mortgage backed security markets. Or toll roads....could be anything really.
I agree with you that NDAA is the monster under the bed..

With all due respect to your sweetheart, it must have been nice to take a republican to bed and doing what you want.
