people totally overlook possibility of foreign TBond sales round #1 foreign sales of stock (or no new buys) round #2 foreign sales of bonds (and fewer new buys) our federal debt is rising, just when it had become flat hey Hans, wanna buy some TBonds with falling dollar??? also, gradual rise in prices from dollar effect on foreign imports it will be gradual, with Asians absorbing losses initially but not if & when the dollar continues down you dont address this in fact, you write as though the dollar effect has ONLY positive effects if it was so positive in rising US$ envmt, why arent same factors working against us now? e.g. falling stock market I can think of a dozen declining dollar effects the great majority of them are negative remeber that this country depends on foreign debt funding I dont have the debt level links, but will search read such data several times debts also came relative to income, which is the more relevant for corporations and households corp debt and household debt versus GDP is meaningless but federal debt is versus GDP let me get back to you on that one (sneaking in a post now & again at office) check DowJonesUtility index... tell me why it is falling / jim

Notice there were no links. The relative and various debt levels aren't much different. Anyone thinking we are trading on fundamentals anyway is a nut bag, or really naive. There is no sense arguing with someone who can't see it, I have been trying for a couple years, it's a horrible waste of time. Bear markets trade on ta driven by fear. In bull markets ta will suppress your results and a bull trades on fundamentals, multiplied by optimism about the future. The old adage about bull markets having no resistance and bear markets having no support gives the flavor of this. Just mo. Watch how they try to give us an evening star today so they can try to cause a collapse tomorrow on a gap down.
