Market close - no surprise!

Treasury auction met higher demand than opposing opinions expected and in turn MBS recovered from earlier lows.  The FNMA 30 year 3.5% coupon ended the day at 100.66 – up 19bp. 
.
Stock slid on news that existing home sales plummeted in July.  
                               



Contrary to the     
   
op-ed last week in the WSJ, The Great American Bond Bubble  , we are heading into a depression.  How painful will it get before mainstream and our policy makers lay down their foolish ideals, accept the truth and respond appropriately?   

Make no mistake – there is an appropriate response that can fix our economy and fix it fast.   Our only constraints are political.
