So a couple months back there were some great posters on here who gave a hypothetical blueprint for the direction the Fed was going to take going forward as it relates to interest rates, bond yield curve control, and how these would affect stocks and metals. There was one particular poster who wrote out a long comment about the rapidly rising 10y treasury note and how before long, the fed was going to be forced to institute yield curve control in order to prevent a stock market collapse. In doing so, the fed would print nearly infinite money and put us into greater inflation, spurring a run on metals.

Fast forward a couple months, and here we are with the 10y bond yield being slightly lower than it was in June, today's Fed minutes denouncing the possibility of yield curve control, and we see metals and metal stocks take a huge shit as a result. To those of you more familiar with what is happening, what exactly is impeding the collapse of the economy that would necessitate yield curve control? Is the dollar's status as the world reserve currency and its ties to oil and a strong US military making us invincible to econonic catastrophe?

I feel like we are in a state of limbo here and I can't figure out why 2+2 continues to equal 5 when it comes to fed policy and its effect on the country and the economy at large. Can anyone out there help provide some clarity and perhaps outline a path forward?
