Bond yields tumbled as inflation hits 14 month high??

very observant.....

the Fed. must be printing money and buying bonds to soak up supply in a process called "monetization"....

it's call "staying in power"....

anyone with 2 brain cells that are talking to each other aint buyin'...

what would a 300 basis point rise in yield do to all the "Level 3" assets out there ?????

an opinion of course and I could be wrong....
