			some more coverage.  QE2  in this instance is not the Queen Elizabeth 2, but the second round of "Quantitative Easing".  A nicer sounding word than the second round of de-valuing the dollar.
 Fed money-printing scheme
 triggering bond price meltdown!
 by Mike Larson
 
 Dear Subscriber,
 
 Larry Edelson
 
 Since talk of new money-printing first surfaced a few weeks ago, 30-year bond yields have jumped sharply higher — from 3.46% to 4.32%. That's a 25% surge in borrowing costs!
 
 It's the biggest interest rate rise in a year — and it's showing no signs of slowing. Yields surged yesterday after a lousy auction of 10-year Treasury Notes. Then they surged AGAIN today after the sale of $16 billion in 30-year Treasury bonds bombed.
 
 Ironically, this is exactly what Bernanke said would NOT happen:
 
 In fact, the Fed chief's main excuse for printing $600 billion over the next eight months was that the money was needed to buy up bonds and LOWER long-term interest rates!
 
 But just as we warn in our online presentation, global investors in U.S. bonds are recoiling in horror — and for good reason:
 
 They know that the Fed money-printing will drive the REAL value of their bonds down sharply!
 
 No wonder they're dumping U.S. bonds, driving the prices lower!
 
 And no wonder they're demanding higher yields, driving long-term interest rates higher!
 
 Moreover, bonds are just ONE of the five asset classes directly impacted by the Fed's new money-printing scheme. The others are:
 
 * Currencies. As the Fed drives down the value of the dollar, it drives UP the value of major foreign currencies. Meanwhile, right now — TODAY — the Fed's money printing plans are wreaking havoc at the G-20 meetings in Seoul, South Korea.
 
 The main problem: Foreign nations are concerned that this massive supply of newly-created dollars will flood into their economies and drive their currencies through the roof!
 
 * Precious metals. Despite a correction that began last night, gold and silver are still in massive, long-term bull markets.
 
 * Agricultural commodities. Since QE2 talk began, commodities have been on a tear. They're rising even faster than bonds are falling.
 
 * Stocks. QE2 has mixed impacts on the U.S. economy and stocks. But for emerging markets, the combination of strong domestic growth and a rapid influx of U.S. dollars has been extremely positive.
 
 QE3 & QE4 are almost certain to follow.
 
 Funny, no one wanted to buy our new money..... not good folks
