      2 comments: I wouldn't want to touch USO: Tax reporting is messy with K1 forms. Also, I stay away from any ETN's (I am not sure which of the tickers mentioned in this article were ETN's, and I hope the author has not used the term ETF for any ETN's!!)

      Stagflation Haunts Global Stock Markets, Buoys Gold
      Gary, Outstanding article. One reason why the situation now is not same as late stagflation of 70's and early 80's, is because long term interest rates (market controlled) are very low. Never the less, it could change if buyers of US treasuries become scarcer and the longer term interest rates start rising. Agree?

      The U.S. Dollar: A Six Month Outlook
      The Fed may be wrong, but it is wise not to fight the fed...at least hedge your bets. The writer and all readers so far have missed one key point: Market driven long term interest rates have not risen. 30yr. bond closed today at 4.53%! (Fed controls only short term interest rates). True, inflation is a threat, but has not been confirmed by the long term rates. So what does one do in this environment? Stay balanced: Stocks 45%, bonds/cash/foreign bonds 25%, gold 15%, oil stocks 15%. Good luck!
