$30B to Brazil pales in comparison to more Fed pumping
having a Fed working full throttle in pumping lifts all expectations of future price inflation

but the money doled to Brazil could signal a ruinous distress signal to US banks
so you could be right in an indirect way
who knows? probably very much BOTH

I believe it owes more to expected Fed rate cuts
with associated increase in money supply infusions
Weldon (for Mauldin) pointed out large $30-45B MZM increases in the last two weeks
he cited the Fed is pumping heavily

the Fed has two tools, rates and MZM money supply
they are pumping heavily again

the reasons for gold rising are endless
I expect a near failure of the US banking system
no exaggeration, near collapse
with a "RUN" on many regional and minor banks
e.g. deposits evacuated, threatening the fractional system
gonna be wild

US money center banks are losing from the likes of Enron, GlobalXing, KMart, WorldCom
but also from sovereign debt from across SudAmerica
now add in some derivative losses from stocks, gold
and you have bank failures in the Good Ole USA
Puplava claims Citibank is already bankrupt
