Another thing I forgot to mention is that people with foreign currencies can do this when the dollar is about to look like a "safe haven" against whatever their currency is.

So it's not just the Fed propping these up? Thanks. LOL!

Foreigners and other speculators are certainly part of the rise of treasuries. I can’t deny that “safe haven” has some meaning because it does. But what those foreign speculators know is either the dollar will shoot up causing their safe haven speculation to go up, or someone else will buy them in the knowledge that the greatest fool Fed has to ultimately buy them or face another meltdown.
