      Larry Kudlow and Interest Rates
      Dude -

      The year 2009 may be grim but not for the U.S.. The BRIC fad is almost over. Check out the outflows.

      Inflation Triangle Dilemma: Dollar / Oil / Euro
      I think the rest of the world has more to worry about than the U.S.. Inflation is manageable in the U.S. and not so manageable in the developing world where major cracks are showing. U.S. rates should push the dollar up at least 10% vs. most currencies by mid '09.

      Bullish on China After My Recent Visit
      Careful on the Tibet issue! How would you like your government telling you you can't worship freely?

      In the U.S., politicians need 30 years just to decide on building a road or bridge, then it takes the union laborers another 30 to build it while they work 1 hour a day.

      I don't see any friendly faces in cities in the United States, actually most cities in the United States remind me of being of South Africa or the ghettos of Brazil.

      Old money definetly runs the show in the West which is evident in how our major corporations are being run into their graves by foreign competition.

      Hopefully Barack will breathe new life into the American political scene and attract a new breed of politicians who thrive on ideas and progress, not power and greed.

      Bernanke's Hints at Stronger Dollar: Meant to Cool Oil Prices?
      It's always a pleasure to read Grace's articles. ;)

      My question to the Fed is: Do you still think you are in the driver's seat of this global economy?

      My question to everyone else is: Is the Fed in control of the dollar's value as much as they think they are and can the ECB,BOE and BOJ swim upstream with the FED on this game plan to boost the ailing dollar?

      Just when the emerging markets are beginning to enjoy the fruits of their labor and increased purchasing power, they are being asked to sacrifice and participate in boosting the dollar in order to avoid further inflationary pressures and a potential global economic meltdown if the world does not quickly deal with commodity prices and the falling dollar.

      One possibility could be for another regional currency to emerge or even several (Africa & ASEAN) in order to stabilize markets,currencies and commodity costs and in-line with the rapid evolution towards a single world currency by 2030.

      Did the Fed plan for 2 billion consumers to suddenly come into the picture or 2 billion competitors should I say? The only ones to benefit in the short-term in this global mess are multi-national corporations who are loving it till the last drop of fresh water. The West needs to adapt quickly; lose the fat and get in shape or perish in this red hot global economy! Central banks are not always going to be in control as mega corporations and sovereign wealth funds begin to have more global power than they do.

      Ford’s 'Surprise' Announcement
      There seems to be a reluctance to embrace creativity and innovation in America these days; looks like the nation is being run by mindless bureaucrats and overpaid corporate CEO's. You could say the nation is "graying out." The fastest growing population is 85+ year olds. Maybe we are slowing down to adapt to that generation, huh?

      When Will American Realize the World Has Changed?
      Cheap and abundant labor and resources is fueling the boom abroad. The United States is stifled by human rights laws, unions and other mechanisms which make us fundamentally American.

      Also, we have had no real leadership for the entire duration of the Bush administration. When Obama is elected, we will start moving forward without having to give-up our human and environmental rights in order to compete.

      The New Wave of Infrastructure Investing - JP Morgan
      Yes, Asian currencies will rise against all Western currencies while multinational corporations take away from the West and give to the East where there are more potential consumers. First, the governments in the West need to speed-up their dumbing down of the populations before they can complete the transfer to avoid social unrest. If Asians don't allow their currencies to appreciate rapidly over the next two years, they will slip back into poverty; the government can only subsidize so much and needs to pay the bill for all these infrastructure products in the form of usage taxes/fees.

      Why GE's Selling Its Appliance Division
      Has Haier even expressed interest? Would this fall under the Haier electronics subsidiary or the actual Haier of Beijing? Interesting you would suggest Haier could be a potential buyer; I would have said the same. It would be a major step-up in the U.S. market, but does Haier want/have capabilities to adapt to a higher-end market this soon in the game/U.S.?

      CNBC: Sue Herrera Tells It Like It Is
      Anyone see the fighting between Dennis and Bill? Bill was treating Michelle and Dennis like crap; making fun of Dennis's voice and suggesting that he wants to have sex with Michelle. LOL - Poor Sue, she had to put up with that. The media was really strange today, Erin Burnett was making weird noises/chirps that was throwing people off, Hank Paulson's mic wasn't working and the fighting between anchors on CNBC. Dennis is on his way out, has been an odd character for the show from the beginning.

      Why Google Invested in Clearwire
      If cities in the U.S. play this right, and deploy wimax in place of their existing worthless wifi citywide networks, it will revolutionize the way we get information and advertising in America. Google just needs to be sure that access will be provided at reasonable rates if not totally free and paid for by advertising; which by the way would be really cool! The U.S. has a lot of catching up to do with global cities, we are losing our cities to the infestation of criminals and worthless bodies. Making the cities hi-tech will retain some of the young pros and productive workers by making life a little more convenient/cooler.

      The Easy-Money Days of Dollar Shorting May Be Over
      When Bush is voted out of office, the dollar and U.S. economy in general will rally just on that fact! The world's investors are salivating to get back into U.S. equities and investments in general; the Europeans are delusional thinking that Germans will bear the burden of keeping the Euro economy in check which will lead to political and economic instability in the Eurozone; the pound is bogus:check out Britain's debt levels, in the trillions! The only rallies against the dollar will come from ASIA where GoldminerSacks suggested they are undervalued still at 25%! When the Goldmans pump and dump these currencies a little further it will put tremendous pressure on the already frail Asian economies and further give the dollar strength going into 2010. Just my thoughts.

      Natural Gas Sold Out: Stage Set for Long-Term Price Doubling
      The U.S. is missing out big time! While the rest of the world sets up these Sovereign Wealth Funds and goes prancing around the world buying power and prestige, our states are spending 60% of their budgets on WELFARE and flower lovers are preventing our oil companies from exploring on our own land. We are so backwards! The Russians are taking over where the U.S. oil Gods left off. They are exploring in areas like the Bay of Bengal, in cooperation with Burmese dictators we should have leveled off years ago, where they recently found the worlds largest known supply of natural gas - the Indians are gonna have a better energy supply then we will! We let that midget Hugo Chavez threaten us on our own soil?!!? The CIA must be made of a bunch of psychology and humanities majors who want to "understand" differences in the world. Uncle Sam needs to grow a set off balls and take back its cities and energy supplies before the rest of the world uses our flag for a doorstep. >=( grrrr...
