Revenge of the invisible hand

Only last month, stocks and real estate and other income-producing assets were capitalized for a 2% 10-year Treasury yield. But if 2% was a fake rate of interest, the valuations deriving from 2% were likewise ersatz. Thus, the world is making adjustments. Interest rates, causes and consequences, are the subject at hand.  Subsidiary points of focus include monetary management and—a somewhat lengthier topic—monetary mismanagement. For the sake of his always-fragile mental health, Mr. Market might recall a relevant precedent to today's bond upheaval. Our plan of action is to place today's turmoil in historical context, to review the dramatic events of recent weeks and, most important, to propose a course of investment action suitable for the occasion.

If accountants ruled the world

In contrast, the net asset value of the portfolio that Bill Gross manages declined by 5.2%. How did the chairman outperform Gross?  Footnotes to the Fed's H.4.1 report reveal Bernanke's secret.
