without US economic expansion, world turmoil in pockets we lead the world in growth but in a strange perverse way we lead by means of a massive trade deficit it was $36 billion in February, shocking even economists that is almost $2B/day, as Roache mentions we buy finished goods from other lands how long can this last? the masses think it is ok, normal, acceptable, good think again the US trade deficit is 4% of GDP and rising no precedent in history for the USA not to see a dollar correction the CPI has artificially been held low from cheaper imports this will soon reverse and the CPI will show higher numbers, maybe scarey numbers then as US buyers binge less on foreign electronics, art works, clothes, trinkets, those foreign economies will enter deep recessions when the USdollar correction comes, you can expect fireworks THE PERFECT STORM this will be unlike previous dollar corrections because we have been printing dollars like never before since 1990 THE PERFECT STORM recession, inflation, stock bear market, currency crisis plan on it my guess is starting later this year, and climaxing in 2004 / jim
