  • Stagflation or Deflation?
    Reminds me of the expression: "The People get what they deserve."
    With respect to inflation, it is inherent to Democracy. People will vote for the guy who promises the most and talks best, regardless of merit. And the politician needs to promise the most otherwise he/she will not get elected. This is one of the reasons Democracies are so bad for the economy in the long run.
    Ever wondered why China and especially Singapore are doing so well? No Democracies there!

  • Metals Manipulation - Or Simply Deleveraging?
    What do you call a selective ban on shorting financial stocks? How about blatant manipulation!
    Of course the SEC would not think of applying it to other sectors such as commodities and precious metals. Might hurt their friends.

  • The Treasury Bull Is Alive and Kicking
    Additionally, I do agree that the US Treasury bull market is not dead, yet. If you want to see a bubble, look at the Japanese bondmarket.

  • The Treasury Bull Is Alive and Kicking
    "Note: That is as far back as stockcharts goes."
    This statement is incorrect. My stockcharts go back to 1981. Regardless, the trend is the same (of course).

    As to your statement that the FED is powerless, I think that is too black and white. By taking half-hearted measures as summed under "failed steps" the FED accomplished nearly nothing.
    However, there is one thing that the FED can do to boost balance sheets and that is MONETIZATION of the ENTIRE US DEBT.

    Yes, we may have a bout of deflation this year and perhaps next year, but the commodity bull is hardly dead. The speculation has come off, but supply and demand will still be there. ONE BILLION Chinese still want cars, a house, vacantions, etc. Besides, a secular bull market does not end after 5 years with relative prices that are still low compared to the Dow.
    Ask yourself, is the DOW/GOLD ratio at 1.0 already? Ask yourself, is the DOW/CRB ratio already at 2.5?
