Econ Global makes no mention of MZM growth, nor household debt
and certainly not a peep about the USdollar

impressive rebound, maybe
but so are most bear bounces

they missed on three critical items
money supply, debts, currency risk

heard a sharp lady on CNBC talk about interest rates
she said something like:
"the only way interest rates will rise is if the economy recovers strongly"

this is the consensus view, but I think incorrect
if the dollar slides further, then bonds will be sold
they are sold by foreigners to finance the currency sales
and rates will rise, regardless of the US economy
sure, much of $assets are sold as stocks
but the piggyback effect is for stocks to encourage more dollar sales
and the USTBond market is 5x larger than the US Stock Market

this is the opposite perverse argument
if foreigners see the US economy as not recovering, they might sell dollars (which would raise our rates)


we have a big big risk with foreigners holding our debts
WE ARE NOT COMPLETELY IN CONTROL
