Long USD Trends, Neutral on Momentum

Nice article. The big question now is recession / recovery outlook and room that the fed has to intervene if inflation picks up.

Inflation: Is This the Real Danger?

People just keep looking over the hill expecting the worst to be over with ignoring the lessons of the great depression or even Japan for that matter. The government has sat idly by while masses of people are loosing all of their belongings. Oh wait they did come in afterwords after all had jumped off the cliff without para shoots but perhaps it wasn't to save anyone just an opportunity for the them in the chaos. One would think it wouldn't happen to a powerful nation but once again history repeats itself when given a chance to repeat scenarios that obviously lead to bad outcomes. I guess all those years of study to make one a politician or financial expert they didn't learn 1 lesson from history in acquiring their degree. Perhaps the lesson for them is to create more control over people and not to make society better with new circumstances. Any reasonable and educated leader would be able to see the crisis in advance but in the news leading to all reports signaled that there was no crisis looming or even a recession. Very sad to see such poor leadership and decisions that effect masses of people that don't have the same educations of our leaders.

Recession Fears Go Global

Market Predictions: 'Crazy' About the Dollar

""Basenese---You are right but maybe we should keep it quiet --I love making money from equities and dollar going up and commodities going down.

Mark is a racist from Europe although we have them too where they come from the left.""

I suppose you think that if you mention race it dismisses all the fact of what the Bush administration and anti-American US Government is doing? What does it make you for liking the bastards in power who are the lowest scum on earth? You may be able to toss around the term racist but where are your own morals? Do you have any morals or are you just a parasite?

Market Predictions: 'Crazy' About the Dollar

Crap let him speak. He thinks the Jews are responsible for the economic crisis and wars and this definitely is at least partially fact.
This is not a reason to like the Jews.
Bush is a puppet to Israel and not only Israel but to Saudi and king Abdullah the oil tycoon. these sick bastards have been manipulating the markets and creating wars out of any crisis they can find so they can push their own agenda like oil and war profits that do not benefit the average American. By the way Bush has the lowest approval rating even lower than Nixon. Bush would just love to impress his Israeli buddies (who he serves not us Americans) and find a backdoor way into getting into a war with Iran such as though provoking Russia. Bush is an ass hole he is ruining all global diplomacy. Who cares about Israel, it doesn't concern the US and there should not be troops deployed in the Middle East which is another Vietnam. WWIII is possible because of zionist war mongers promoting wars. Cheney is another sick lowlife bastard Israeli puppet that is profiting from making wars.

The USD itself has to choose between having exports though a devalued dollar or to letting the economy rebound. With the economy slowing it may allow commodities to retreat. However the economy itself is basically ruined long term because of government spending (Bush's drunken sailor spending / war mongering for his zionist jew buddies) and massive deficits that are over 50 trillion for American tax payers. Nobody hates America more than the Bush administration and the American government so think twice about who you say is anti-American because apparently you are so dumbed down by refined foods and what's shown thought the propaganda machine you don't have any concept of it.

FOMC Meeting: Fed Talks Tough on Inflation

The national dept is so high that each american would have to pay 31k to pay it off and it's getting worse everyday. americans have are not only sunk from the national dept but everyone is in debt to their mortgage loans and credit cards. what happens when people and the government keep borrowing is they go bankrupt because they get trapped paying on only interest and eventually loose everything. the gdp was boosted by tax checks. everyone knows how bad it is. i used to be an independent trucker so who do you think your fooling? there's absolutely no economic strength. corporations can barely do business and the independents have a slim chance of surviving. the average age of the population keeps getting older and with less able-bodied workers. with debts so high and no earnings growth potential do you really think the economy will improve out of thin air? this is all propaganda to ease a patient at the operating table on their last legs. the problem is not even a global one because other countries are in different economic cycles. our government spending and bad economic policy has sunk the ship.
if you don't think the value of the dollar can go lower your just painting a false picture of hope. just because crude has corrected from record highs doesn't mean the dollar is strong. remember 100 a barrel was considered too high. this will only deteriorate over time. so it's not a panic overnight drop but in time it will erode with the macros being so bad. Remember a similar situation happened in Japan and it went though a very long period of deflation. The same is happening now.

Ahead of the Fed: Oil and the Dollar

the fed will have to cut to stimulate the economy and deal with higher inflation.

A Surprise in Store for the Dollar?

There was nothing disagreeable in this article. You shouldn't try to trade off of an authors articles maybe that's your mistake for looking for a free ride.
