by late autumn, dollar effect will be recognized: INFLATION

it will be from foreign imports
from domestic production using foreign components
a cascading effect will begin
domestic producers will raise prices with or without the presence of higher priced foreign components
nothing can stop this inflation

price inflation begets higher TBond interest rates
which results in lost principal value of bonds
which begets more dollar losses
then mortgage rates rise
and real estate values come down
which erodes consumer purchasing power
and corporate earnings are hurt worse
which begets stock declines
which hurts corporate earnings even more
then even more dollar losses
and even more price inflation
and even higher interest rates

foreign investors lose twice!!
from dollar losses and from stock/bond losses

THIS IS THE VICIOUS CYCLE
coming this autumn sometime, or winter
I already read that foreign import product inflation for May was 8.5% (annualized)
the process has begun

A DECLINING DOLLAR IS GREENSPASM'S WORST NIGHTMARE
couple this price inflation with the unprecedented monetary inflation
(i.e. Fed money printing, which will come to bite us)
THE NEXT INFLATION CYCLE WILL HAVE BEGUN ANEW

I am patiently watching the golds, now consolidating
planning to add to positions
a dollar freefall might ensue this late summer
August is a very dangerous month for currencies

in several months, the realized price inflation will be showing up very clearly in the CPI, despite all efforts to subdue it
and gold will go ballistic
