Friday Outlook: Commodities, Emerging Markets

I remember in 1987 the week before 'Black Monday' was the worst in history. It made the cover of Time. But then 'Black Monday' hit and everyone forgot about the previous week.

Warren Buffett just said recently that stock returns should be lower in the coming years and that the dollar will probably continue to decline for the next 5 to 10 years.

Sounds like Fed policy will dictate that, just like it did in the early 80s when the policy changed under Volker.
