Re your “Why are the markets/grains/commodities up? You wouldn’t think that maybe, just maybe, this is being orchestrated so the Fed can continue raising, d’ya? This disaster is much worse, expense wise, than 9/11.”

 

All I see is a huge reversal process in the entire economy. U.S. savers were getting punished for decades. Borrowers were getting rewarded for decades. Watch for the reversal on THAT one.

Same holds true for U.S. producers of commodities and U.S. manufacturers. Punished by the “strong dollar”.

I think Mr. Market is simply figuring on a lower dollar. The deck is stacked against it.

What could turn the dollar around? What could make worldwide opinion drive up the dollar? I can think of only ONE thing.

The United States landing a spaceship with passengers from various “fledgling democracies” on the sun.

I hear they have it planned. But to avoid the heat, they are going at night. 🙂

 

@Mr.Copper: landing people on the sun at night! Brilliant! And the

placed against more rate increases. All the markets are betting on low rates in the future. Are they all correct? Inquiring minds want to know! If only we could jump to the future for a few minutes.

As they say, nobody knows for sure which way rates will go. We can only look around and come to our own conclusion.

I always suspected we were following Japan’s situation. Booming stock and real estate market followed by a long slowdown, or deserved “rest period”.

This hollowed out (for the greater good) US economy is simply dieing. The poor Golden Egg laying goose. They drew out too much blood.

They cut it too close, they went too far, took a big chance and lost it. (the US) Jerks that they are. I saw all this coming a long long time ago.

Just like you can’t smoke 3 packs a day, and think nothing will happen. You can’t give away industries, create phony booms to placate the masses, and lie to the masses about inflation rates, and GDP figures, and think nothing will happen.

Well, it’s happening. 🙂
