Today in Commodities: The Almighty Buck

If it looks like a duck, and it walks like a duck, and it talks like a duck.... it must be Yogi Berra, doing an AFLAC commercial.

Today in Commodities: The Almighty Buck

Just a "death rattle" rally for the US$, 'Bard.... nothing more than that. It'll be lucky as all get out to make it to that 78.50 target of yours, there are two powerful Fibo's waiting right below that number; I don't think it'll make past 77.50. All the "dollar rallys" for the last week have had this Roman candle look to them, brief bursts and then... pppppphhhhhhtttttt..... no reason to think this one will be any different.

Today in Commodities: Living Up to Expectations

'Bard.... let me share something with you I learned a long time ago:

The more that one is hated, and the more enemies one makes, the closer one knows they are getting to the truth.

NG is in final capitulation mode, and you'll be vindicated. Nearly all of the Canadian NG juniors I follow have formed classic divergence bottoms against the NG low itself. Steady as she goes.

Today in Commodities: Dollar in the Driver's Seat

The US$ is going to have occasional one-day, two-day, one-week-at-most rallies. So what? When the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States goes to China and gets LAUGHED AT TO HIS FACE - by a groupe of students, no less - the takeaway lesson is that the U.S. and by association the US$ are the new laughingstock of the world. So, the only remaining things on the U.S. "to do" list are to officially change the name to United Banana Republic States of America; change the National Anthem to o/~ "Yes! We Have No Bananas. We Have No Bananas, Today!" o/~ and start a 24/7 crash program to manufacture as many wheelbarrows as possible, because they're the only thing that's going to be in demand, and have a nice, safe place from which to watch The Second American Civil War.

Use "Maxe" for what he/she/it is... a "Useful Idiot", in the words of Lenin.

Today in Commodities: Less Bad Is Good?

The so-called "sugar shortage" is going to be the excuse used to justify and rationalise the lifting of the trade embargo against Cuba. The Administration desperately wants a foreign-policy coup, and desperately wants to ditch the embargo. Watch.
