better happen soon meaning a pending sustained rise in both the commodities & bond yields. read the dire warning from Norcini today about the implications of a weekly close in the yield of US 10-Year Treasurys below 1.8% - they've fallen below the key threshold for 2 weeks for the first time *ever* meaning something not nice is afoot, gaining credibility of growing perceptions of the rotten state of affairs the longer this condition persists. am i hallucinating or did the $TNX drop 6% today??? holy ****!!!!! this against a backdrop of china's enthusiastic mad scramble for real gold and anecdotal chat about confiscated allocated gold the world over translates into a lot of concerned parties taking action in a number of markets, including positive developments in the PMs today.

otoh the 10-year long-term down trendline hasn't yet busted down completely. in fact it's sitting squarely on a 20-year downtrend line according to my straight edge...... perverbial cartel-induced shaking of the tree? all totalled the portait paints a pic (tm) ripe for the Fed to come to the rescue with QE3 liquidity..... to save the misdirected world from itself of course & not from America's own financial woes ;) We live in uncommon times.....
