The whole bond fiasco has me really thinking the "correction" for US markets will come just after the November election. It looks like a scramble to keep the lid on.Also that's when gas prices will really start going nuts. It's been impressive how 'low' they have stayed thus far. (And if you want to say that aren't low? Oh no, buckle up)

Normally, I'd say (without much conviction) it is rude to suggest the government would manipulate markets to a political end.
