heinz, I am having a problem resolving in my mind some of the things that should be going on. Japan should be doing everything in its power to keep the USD high. I suspect they need the US consumer to continue to dig themselves out of this hole they are in. If the rate increase by the Euro gods has a slow down effect in Europe, they should be trying to prop up the USD to keep the US consumer buying to insure a recession in the Euro zone does not occur. If all these central bankers have the printing presses going full steam ahead they should negate the effects across boundaries. So the end result should be the USD keeping its strength, and the US citizen continue to spend-spend-spend. Now the effect of oil on the economy should act like a tax and cause a shift in spending. The problem for the markets is that the oil companies increase in stock prices probably will not overtake the high prices of the tech stocks. What am I missing? Joan

Heinz, gold is part of financial derivatieves which are a huge time bomb that I do not know how any one in this world will be able to defuse in an orderly manner. Unfortunate with liars at the helm of many nations the problem is not resolved, but pushed even further under the carpet, as no one wants to take the bitter pill. All computer models are programmed in such a way that the system will hold. The basic assumption that always the other side will be there is wrong. BWDIK Haim
