The Real Crisis: Collapsing Capital Accumulation Process

Time To Abandon Stocks?

Bear markets end w/ HIGH interest rates, Egg?, or should I say Eggonface? quite the opposite. Look at the 10-yr, our own Treasury is buying our own paper to keep it from rising to 4%+, each time it gets to 3.93%, watch the $TNX, it's already broken out of the down-channel. Stagflation is what we'll have, I'm not buying any deflation scenario.
