Episode notes

- They argue yield-curve control and QE are increasingly likely because governments need buyers for growing debt.
- That policy path supports reflation trades but risks long-term instability if rates later spike.

- Vincent recalled confronting Ben Bernanke at a multi-manager event and asking if the Fed enabled fiscal excess via low rates.
- Bernanke dismissed the question and ended the meeting abruptly.

- The equity rally can diverge from rate/currency signals and later realign if trends persist.
