ah the yield curve long end... but it is astrology because bond buyers - foreign investors such as China-
have other objectives. Given that the Fed can set up a QE4 buying longterm bonds either by op twist or directly , yields cannot go up. Of course economy will not recover, either. This however will result in deflation of available USD. Is it that what the Fed is really up to? Makes sense.
If so the Fed would not want Romney.

chartrology catnip plus the side effect of encounter of 30 years with ten years yield.

erratum catnip for yield capped at 2.94 in 2013 with next resistance at 1.82%

Lets say it still a pipesbag with drumbeats once the cup is full it serves for fullfilling others objects.

the liquidity must find a way into pockets of workers but then we'll have price inflation. If Fed injected liquidity just blows up bank assets no economic growth can orccur. But given the Fed is the biggest buyer and holder of US treasuries, how can yields raise significantly?

the more printing the more inflation creation but there is a but; if growth isn't present at 2013 then we can see deflation of us dollars on an abrupt way. the money printing is expected with global growth meanwhile the fed inject liquidity all across the globe and all across assets that make the prices going higher versus their counterpart in us dollars. we pass from 800 billions to 2.8 trillion in monetary liquidity in four years and it will come a time when the system will have to drain this liquidity from the system. if growth is not here and yield keeps on rising then we see the foreign holding of treasury losing value and thus fed will have to act during this storm by injecting liquidity in treasury then QE4.
if groth is present then yield will keep on rising and at this time one has to understand that Bernanke has stated that until 2015 he will not raised interestrate but doesnt opt out a raise in between at my opinion. this the two swords KENDO application by holding the adversary with the long and striking with the small.
when yield will begin to attain hte 3.25 percent with low interest rate then institution that borrowed at .5% will invest in their own yielding asset and prompting a raoatriation of money flow toward the usa. The Sovereign have already poured money in the american system compared to an outflow from Europe and that shows that some operation and big annoucement are underway in 2013.

like stated last weekend the yield rose and yes daveo the 2% will be attained any time soon.
Since the decision of going long the end curve of the treasury at 30 years , government institution that have access to the fed's window have earned billions. 50 basispoint on the 30 year long treasury.

I do not expect German contitution court get in the way, basically the outcome should be yes, but ( list of conditions) .
It is not just Zeitgeist that direct democracy political parties pop up everywhere, basically Internet social network parties, the Pirate party is everywhere , in Italy its the five star movement, all thse make enormous success in surveys.
These parties are the biggest danger to parliamentary democracy, because they are transparent and real-time. And come at almost no cost. basically social network parties resemble the ancient northern Thing place, the vote is for decisions, not for prospects, not for political progammes, and certainly not for personalities. "faces and voices" are insignificant. Of course there are model laws, or exactly, scalability.
In plain terms, what works perfectly with 100 voters at a Thing, may not work with a million voters in a social network. This laws of scale are more a topic for applied mathematics, but imho the way political decisions are made will change pretty soon, with real time communication structures such as social networks
