    You are not alone, I caught a nice move up and got chopped all day myself.

    Days like this are better spent @ the beach.

    why not. fed works this way:

    1. sell tips, buy treasuries, bring (bond) market derived "inflation expectation" bullshit down.

    2. then say that you just follow bond markets in your inflation assessment, i.e. all is good.

    3. print more money, buy more treasuries.

    4. go back to 1.

    ingenious
