I agree to some extent that the fed has an interest in scaring people from assett based investments into paper classes. They also have an interest in threatening the equity markets which could be a shot across the bow of a meddling congress. As you know the Fed is a private bank that prints the world's reserve currency and controls all economic expansions and contractions with their power to raise or lower interest rates. Congress currently has enough signatures to legislate an audit of the Fed and interestingly enough Bernanke, in a diplomatic way threatened them to stop meddling.

Another slight problem with tracking paper auction dates is that with the amount of new debt and all of the old debt rolling over there will be a never ended string of auctions. IMHO the key will be to pay attention to what happens to the multi year instruments.
