Yep - Al Is Already Between a Rock and a Hard Place. Soon, said rock and hard place will begin getting closer to each other. The popping you will hear will be Al's balls, not champagne.

"The problem is that the stability of both the dollar and the financial system over the last years has become singularly fated on the persistence of huge credit and capital inflows that have to finance not only the gargantuan current-account deficit, running now at an annual rate of more than $400 billion, but also very substantial capital outflows on the part of U.S. corporations and investors." No, this is wrong, the U.S. economy doesn't depend on anyone. The current account deficit is meaningless and nothing to worry about. If the dollar goes down, it'll [curr acct. deficit] simply disappear and reverse itself and if investors want to sell they just sell the specialist or some other buyer. There is nothing buy blue sky ahead, and leveraged longs will probably outperform... Ahhh, vacation is great. DAK
