>> the M3 rising contradicts that does it not? << No, it doesn't. From the article: "As a result, the banks had to make loans to entities with lower credit ratings in order to maintain their interest income levels. These loans are starting to come apart. As a result, all of these banks are tightening credit - not loosening If money supply is increasing - it still has a cost. And even if the cost is decreasing and supply increasing, if the risk profile has shot way up - and it has - what institution is going to dole out more credit to risky situations if it already has a big portfolio of risky situations? Bank shorts might be profitable, entries here and now offer reasonable risk. (just a glance at the BKX)
