agreed on selling liquidity kind of like selling your best bigname highly liquid stocks as you deal with rebalancing entire stock accounts, dealing with margin demands, selling off losers, selling partially the strongest to raise cash the catalyst? the tipping down of the US economy later this autumn all signals (at least 90% of them) are tipping down the next leg down for the dollar will push Europeans they are my main concern I believe they will sell their TBonds at the same time as selling remaining stocks foreigners hold 4x as much in TBonds as USStocks the dollar eroded some bond profits the dollar exacerbated all stock losses if they dump them both, they offset the heavy heavy losses an unpopular war combined with slipping economy will tip it ironically the escalating war has added a huge energy tax that could push the economy over the edge / jim
