Advance Look At The Last Treasury Monetization

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Mark the date: October 29, 2009. It will be characterizied by a drop in futures for a few minutes followed by a rapid and inexplicable pop on no news, courtesy of last ditch attempt by the Fed to "liquify" the market thanks to $1.6 billion devalued portraits of George Washington. And poof, just like that... Treasury purchases are gone (until Bernanke wakes up on the wrong side of the bed and wants to see Dow 36,000).

Could you please provide links to the Auction page. Also, is there special real-time access as a primary dealer? Like a separate web market place? Thanks.

The more I look at 300B T buy trends, I cannot help but wonder if this buy program has been padded in advance. Something like a magician, removing support from the levitating body, and poof, the T buy is now self sustaining. A Ben Fed miracle. Perhaps some MBS buys, or off balance sheet loans, are really future T swaps. Just a thought.

That has been going through my head lately.  Only it sounded like "The POMO is NOMO."   Unfortunately, we know it's not the end.

Pelosi is talking about the urgent need of stimulus v.2. Soon, Bernanke will be told to implement QE v.2 in exchange for confirmation.

Sadly, the only way to end all this insanity is the total collapse of the dollar ,the US government, and the demo(n)cracy founded on the principle of spending other people's money.

The USSR collapsed due to lack of incentive for production (why work harder, commarades, when everyone got equal pay) and the US will collapse due to over-consumption (why worry it is other people's money?)

Happy Halloween, debt slaves

 

Crash the markets, strengthen the dollar.  But we all know that capital flows into its ultimate and final home in gold.

Tyler,

Just found your site recently and am trying to figure out - which camp are you in. The hyper-inflation camp or deflationary depression 2.0 camp?

Two years ago I moved my 401K into our "Stable Value Fund" (treasuries, bonds, etc..) and so far haven't lost anything at all (of course I missed the current rally); it's grown at about 3.6% (I know, I know...) What can I do to avoid the upcoming collapse? Should I QUICKLY get back into the market?

Not usually any good options in 401ks. Does your 401k have a loan program? Take a loan and use it to buy hedges for your 401k positions.

Does anybody really believe there is going to be anything left in the 2013 to 2015 time period? Who will redeem these bonds?

I hear you, that the games end now that the Fed is at its $300B limit on Treasuries.

But, doesn't the conduit-for-money-to-the-banking cabal just move from Treasuries to MBSs? I think I read that the Fed has $400B of headroom in that program, still.

Dear Friend of Liberty,

Earlier today, Senators Jeff Merkley (D-OR) and Bob Corker (R-TN) introduced "The Federal Reserve Accountability Act," an attempt to kill HR 1207/S 604 by passing a bill that prevents a full audit and full transparency from America's secretive central bank.

While language in this bill would permit a limited audit of the Fed's actions in the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) and similar high profile bailouts, it would not allow an audit to review the Fed's inflation of the money supply or its agreements with foreign central banks, among other shortcomings.

Additionally, the names of the institutions who received the funds would not be available until one year after each "emergency" program ended, and you know how quickly the federal government likes to end programs.

Click here to get the contact information for your senators and urge them not to support this attempt at stopping our historic effort to force the Fed into a full scale audit.

You see, you and I have the FED and their internationalist supporters in the Senate running scared.

We've seen it time and time again in recent months.

Now, this is how they will fight back -- by having establishment senators who oppose a full audit the Fed, proposing watered down compromises in an attempt to sabotage our real goal.

We knew this moment would come. Now you and I must fight back.

Seventy-five percent of the American people, over two thirds of the House of Representatives, and over a quarter of the Senate support Ron Paul's Audit the Fed legislation.

With those historic levels of support, there is no excuse for settling for anthing less than a full Audit the Fed bill. Anything less is merely an attempt to stop our efforts as we get closer to passage of a real bill.

The freedom movement will not back down on requiring transparency and accountability from an institution that has helped to destroy our economy. This is another test of our strength and will.

Let's finish what we've started. Take action to stop this dangerous attempt to stop the real Audit the Fed bill TODAY!

Find contact information for your senators here and read more at CampaignforLiberty.com.

Let your senators know you expect them to support the American people's demand for full transparency, not some watered down measure designed to stop a full audit!

In Liberty,

John Tate
President

The U.S. Dollar will finally become a junk bond, much like mortgage-backed securities.

I'm not so sure, the fed has to do something here. Will they go the currency intervention route since monetary policy is on hold? Or, will they have to bump rates?

And then after the inexplicable pop on no news...THEN what? A hyperinflationary rise in equities and all prices? A New World Order currency after a G7/8/20/37 bank holiday? A Greater Depression as Bermonkey raises rates into the stratosphere in an effort to save Treasuries, and a USD rally surprising all the tinhats and haters, and saving the Empire?

Would especially love to hear from the paperbugs on this one...
