    “perplexed that investors’ demand for the perceived safety of government bonds has driven 10-year Treasury notes to record lows, even as the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 index scored fresh record highs”

    This actually makes perfect sense under one circumstance. A great many of the big financial players are “in on the fact” that a major crash is not far away. They’re still playing in the market; because they are still fleecing the rubes – but they’re socking their savings away in as safe a place as they can find. Also goes along with the quiet up-trend in precious metals (currently in a momentary down-tick).

    Somebody knows something. Lots of somebodies this time.

    It’s a great trick: interest rates keep sliding and the US federal deficit is up about 26% year over year.

    “China’s exports fell more than expected …”

    Does that not suggest that the transfer pricing – to get money out of the country illegally – is slowing down? It will be interesting to see if the Chinese slow down on their property binge in Vancouver, London, Sydney and Melbourne.

    News says it’s slowing down in NY at least.
