Tuesday Outlook: Commodities, Emerging Markets

Some of you are not wearing your thinking caps. Truly the Fed is flooding the market with paper. That is why the dollar will tank not the opposite. The only reason it is seeing temporary strength is the mass exodus of commercial paper and repatriation by scared homies that still believe that the US is the wealthiest nation and that stocks always go up. The markets are experiencing their balancing act between fear and greed. The problem is that the WTO aka Trilateral Commission won't let it work against the big boys. It's do as we say, not as we do. FAX and FXA look to be great buys here. I might just buy more.

The author suggests (mistakenly) that bond yields should exceed 'equity' yields. However, his suggestion relies on recent history only. Prior to the last great bull market [beginning in 1981] yields on stocks were higher than bonds because they were not guaranteed and to attract investors to the higher risk of stocks. Perhaps investors are starting to realize that today, and therefore are demanding greater income from stocks because they have and will continue to dilute shareholder stakes by new issues and cut or eliminate dividends without warning.
