Impending Inflation? The Global 'New Deal' All but Guarantees It

I agree with a couple of the comments above, in that it seems like all this thrashing around "should" be inflationary, but nobody can really outline how we get from point A to point B. It always comes down to the Fed and Treasury wanting inflation, therefore we get it because they are all-powerful, apparently.

The Recession Is Already Priced Into Stocks

I watched Cramer the other day and he said he didn't know if this was a bottom, and he wouldn't be surprised if it weren't. He says enough kooky things as it is without people putting words in his mouth. I don't know why all of you hate him so much, it's a show for stock-pickers, just take it for what it is.

Why Are Investors Returning to the Dollar?

Guys, the line about "the best politicians money can buy" is a joke. It sounds like a compliment but can also be interpreted to mean that they can be influenced by campaign donations or other means. I'm pretty sure it wasn't meant as praise here.

I've been wondering about the strength of short Treasuries also. I wonder if it's just that people need a place to park the proceeds from selling some other asset, and they have too much (over FDIC limit) to risk putting it into a bank that they are afraid could go under. So, with Treasuries at least you are sure you will get it back, whereas you can't necessarily say that for anything else out there.
