There sure is something odd with the Dollar/Stock divergence and the dollar shorts are getting killed. charts.quotewatch.com --------------------- Normally the market makes highs along with the dollar.. and all major stock corrections in the past put in a bottom on a weak dollar..so I have a problem calling April a major correction ( or a bottom ) as the dollar never really fell. ------------------- I can't understand the stock market working so hard to try and get back up with the dollar so high.. I personally think GreenSpan is full of shit with his rate increases..it's going to have a long term effect of making money to expensive for start ups. Less compition..giving pricing power to the big boys which has more to do with inflation than wages or full employment. The old turds' mind is in the ice age.. but every one is so tickled with him there is nothing to do. They give him all the credit for what the American worker created..and created in spite of his screw ups.. Jim

Chris What am I missing here? The strong dollar is a reflection of the strong US economy. The dollar will weaken as the economy weakens and as interest rate are no longer rising. If gold is ever to have another pop it should be during economic expansion with increased inflation. Higher interest rates will slow the economy (with some lag time), decrease inflation and lower the demand for gold. My commodity of choice is oil and I invest in oil service stocks (FSESX). good luck
