    Friends of folks at the Fed and/or Treasury were told that QE3 was a "Go!".

    Reply to @Pangolin: Yeah, kind of wondered if a potential QE3 might be part of the background noise lately.

    Maybe a stampede outa bonds and into stocks? Even high-flying high yield been sloshing around lately. Wonder if Catch has followed suit?

    looks like month-end rebalancing took place in institutional accounts. that's what we do. bonds were up by 3+ while equities down 6-12% (depending on the market). so you rebalance at month-end and start playing again.
