Rick Santelli of CNBC made some critical observations
with the Pakistan bombing overnight, money is finding havens
(apology for last week calling him Santucci)

however...
TBonds are rising as yields are falling
BUT the dollar is under serious pressure, and GOLD is up
his conclusion:
- only US citizens are fleeing into 10-yr Treasurys
- foreigners are fleeing into GOLD

dont assume CB's remain in full control
much control of TBonds and dollar has been exported in 90's
this is the greatest and most dangerous fallacy now
blind faith in Greenspam is misplaced
I find the most serious risk right now is the USdollar
since so so so many dollars are held abroad, the US Govt is now just about at GUNPOINT not to do anything stupid
like having your 6-yr old daughter held for ransom
they CANNOT confiscate gold, or else suffer 30% dollar decline
they CANNOT announce even trade tariffs without consequences

no, I disagree
Central Banks have not only ceded control of TBonds and Dollars, they have GIVEN AWAY almost half their GOLD
this is prelude for bankrupt nations
the world economy is sliding into the abyss
