capitalism works universally, even in deflation
liquidators are profiting handsomely from heightened demand
bankruptcy lawyers are having a field day
unemployment state clerks are being hired

as the economy makes the transition from flat on its back to merely crawling, it will have to endure a series of commodity price shocks

watch the dollar - bond - gold triangle
with Japanese bank failure, Euro currency launch, and US Treasury now a net bond seller with deficits...
we now will see a USdollar slide amidst a rate creep up
it will undermine the recovery all year long

two bubbles remain
if there is ANYTHING that I have learned in the past two years
it is that all remaining bubbles will be disposed of...
eventually
REAL ESTATE, USDOLLAR
the dollar is destined for a 10% slide versus Euro
real estate will stagnate as mortgage rates creep up
lower dollar will aid in corporate exporting
stagnant pricing power will hurt consumer spending
it will likely be a near draw wash

yeah, 2ndHalf Recovery later this year in jeopardy
I still a real slow recovery though
then next year maybe more continuation of slow recovery
this V-shaped recovery theory is pure bullshit
it flies in the face of all reality and evidence

the recovery might be built upon productive usage of excess capacity
those who suffer might be those who supply such equipment
NOT those who use such equipment, quite the contrary
no need to buy more techy stuff, just need to use it all

Japan will shock the world soon
banks bigger than JPMorgan will go kaput finally
I mean finally, the longawaited denouement
Japan will slowly become relegated to a Pacific HasBeen
later, Jim
