Serious question: this notion of the Bond Vigilante seems a romanticization at this point. Where is this mythical beast to be found in the wilds? I have my own theory-that they're retired and/or departed. And if age didn't get them to tap out, then subsequently there was this IMO Extinction Event that took place circa 2008: The advent of QE. QE's even slayed Gold, for a time anyways. But may I suggest (excluding my Gold-Bug bias), NEVER count out Gold. Just ask the BRICS nations. Thanks Steve!

Imagine if there wasn't the Globally Agreed to 2% Inflation targeting, the Fed would have an even more amazing juggling act to complete. And I missed the memo or White Paper-when exactly did the BIS-IMF, and all CBs agree to 2% inflation targeting? Have we all been Globalists the last 15 or more yrs w/o knowing it?
