You'd be AMAZED at the number of so-called "educated Americans" who somehow, amazingly, still believe the world starts at the Statue of Liberty and ends at the Golden Gate Bridge.
China is still taking batting practice; for them, the game hasn't even begun.
For the U.S., the game is long-ago over, and the "team" is still on the field trying to figure out how they lost.

The dollar carry trade is here to STAY for as long as the US$ is the currency equivalent of Charmin, and the Fed isn't about to stop the pre$$e$ now running at redline RPM, as the Sikorskis keep taking off from the Wizard Of Oz Memorial Heliport. The $ is the new Yen, and will be for the next 20 years, just as the Yen was for 20 years.

Buffett is buying railroads because they're going to be the most efficient way of moving what few goods there will be to move when diesel is $10 a gallon and still rising. He's not making any huge bet on the American economy, he's making a Hobson's Choice.

Sounds like 'ole Avery is about to get the Margin Call Of His Life on his silver shorts. That's why he's trying so desperately to convince himself - and, by extension, us readers - of something he doesn't really believe. Intellectual dishonesty is the first haven of panic.

China is still taking batting practice; for them, the game hasn't even begun.
For the U.S., the game is long-ago over, and the "team" is still on the field trying to figure out how they lost.
