Any bets on what % of the t-bills will be bought by the Fed?
75%, 90%, all?

When no one but the fed buys the T-bills the stock market will crash much worse than today. The Swiss and the Chinese might buy some early T-bills at 6% but that will cause the fed to intervene and buy them at bargain prices.

Whatever is left over, for sure. But due to this month's "flight to quality" I'll bet the Fed won't have to soak up much. I'll say it again; just IMHO, don't "bank" on it.
