    Bernanke Isn’t Finished Cutting - By a Longshot [view article]
    if they could just throw that whole "dual responsibility" thing out the window, we'd all be great, right?

    just push the reserve rate to 0% and watch the economy perpetually blossom, just like it has been in Japan for 20 years now.

    jackass.

    some of us work for a living and get paid with these increasingly worthless dollars.     Reply

    I wish Ben had a tenth as much concern for my increasingly worthless dollars as he seems to have for bailing out stupid builders who shouldn't have overstretched in the first place.

    Are you long stocks then? Not a bad if simplistic analogy. Reply

    I'm just curious if your inflation indicator has had code programmed for Tradestation. I'd like to take a closer look at it with my other indicators. Reply

    i stopped buying tomatoe's about 2 years ago, when they hit $1 per tomato. milk, packaged and sliced meats have also gone up since then. basically, inflation really started mid 2005, probably linked to the reckless housing prices.

    If the Fed cuts again we should all be paying $4.00 to $4.50 a gallon this summer at the pump and the average cost for each grocery item we put into our cart should be well above $2.25 a item. Some dismiss food and energy in the inflation calculation but when I go to pay for the item I put the calculation back in my inflation indicator! Reply

    Simply add the thought that oil at $100/bbl today is the same value arguably as oil at $60/bbl, based on old exchange rates US$/Euro. The conclusion then is that it will be US equities that have a problem, not the rest of the world- as it is only the US (and US peg countries) really seeing the inflation.
    Maybe you could do the same analysis, but from the perspective of the Euro ? I for one would be most intrigued to the outcome.
    Perhaps also add to this the inflationary impact all those extra petrodollars will have - unless GCC/Opec players switch to Euro's or a basket of currencies.

    Friday Outlook: Two-Way Volatility Continues [view article]
    Jack, if you look at the weekly chart posted you'll note how many times we've seen this pattern during the decline. Think of it as a series of steps lower which I've posted before. Fundamentally, I don't know what's to like about the euro vs the dollar at these levels but let's face it the dollar may be losing its reserve currency status.

    Robert,

    When eroded by current inflation the yield on IEF is negative.

    What do you mean by negative yields (in the comments for SHY and IEF)? Do you mean relative to something like SHV? Reply

    US dollar is finding some form of bottom at 76, on the USD index that you have graphed. In 2.5 years, it has dropped from 90 to current levels. One would think that it must be putting extreme pressures on industry in Europe, hence a weakening their economy and causing eventual interest rate cuts. The interest rates cuts would presumably weaken the EU and stimulate consumer growth.
    So, does this support the idea that the dollar is making a bottom, which may last for a few years? thoughts?     Reply

    To Rebalance or Not? The Moment of Truth [view article]
    David - I posted a response. I think his attack is based upon a the theory that a portfolio's amount is "fixed." Frankly I enjoyed your ideas more in your ETF Guide where you use rebalancing to "lean" in and out of allocations based upon an investment thesis for the particular asset class. Reply

    And we will never extract ourselves from an increasing vicious level of stagflation within the confines of a free capitalistic society. Reply
