Taking a shot at Economic Mumbo Jumbo

John Whitehead inertprets the Treasury decision to increase supply of TIPs notes. He is referring to this WJS article.

My interpretation is that inflation protected investments are becoming more liquid. They are becoming liquid because the lending channel is distorted and the economy is building an inflation protected investment flow, designed to restore balance to the lending channel. I allude to this constantly as the generalized carry trades or Kelly trades.
