Abby, Dow will DROP 2300 pts in 2003 from US$ decline these guys totally ignore the relevant dynamics of change falling dollar means not only aggregate arrest of deflationary forces (to some extent), but release of inflationary forces in certain sectors where it has already begun to show falling dollar erodes asset values for foreign holders of stocks and bonds they will sell more, just like spring and early summer decisions on assets are made based upon recent movement, which is discerned as a trend, and thus expected to continue if foreigners see the dollar as continuing further down, they sell American assets falling dollar means supply costs rise and profit margins worsen supplies in the form of raw materials have risen supplies in the form of imported components will soon rise again our Asian friends will have to allow prices to rise in dollar terms, or else eat the entire change in their profit margins there is no other way out so corporate earnings falter more they are already pinched from zippo pricing power falling dollar means slightly higher interest rates will very likely be necessary to stem the currency bleeding and maintain an equilibrium balance if the prevailing longterm and shorterm interest rates remain unchanged, then dollar selling continues this is the horrendous risk by Feds who are hellbent on controlling everything but their own discipline higher rates will hurt corporate earnings even more so stocks drop, rates rise, prices increase from imported inflation hey AbbyJo, try learning some effing economics, fool whore!!! this stuff is not all that complicated, when you remove the red dress that hikes 16 inches above the knee bright red skirts and cranial activity dont go hand in hand these guys ignore the dynamics unleashed right before their covered eyes only 4-8 months ago they learn nothing since they are so entrenched in acting like whores and ignoramuses I hope in time that the brokerage and investment banking industry shrinks to 1/4-th of its current size just large enough to handle the flood of precious metals miners seeking stock issuance financing 30% layoffs in investment banking so far gonna be fun watching continuation of pink slips to whores a whore is as a whore does -- sell lies, compromise truth, watch the essence of integrity drain out / jim

Hartman Friday mktwrap on the Puplava website financialsense.com a summary excerpt: The government interventions have only worked to slow down the correction process. Once the war starts, we should see the current trends dig-in even deeper. Once the war starts, the Powers-That-Be will have a scapegoat to explain why gold is over $400 per ounce, the dollar has lost 20-30% of its purchasing power, the Dow Industrial Average is below 6000. The trends that are now in place should accelerate as we move into the new year. Hopefully, your investments are positioned to take advantage of the current trends, and not just “hoping” for a rebound of the glory stocks from the last bull market. For now, I suspect the Feds will try to keep the markets as close to status-quo as possible, especially the dollar. Once the war starts, the dollar will be attacked which will put even more pressure on stocks, corporate debt, and US Treasury paper. gonna get really ugly soon the dollar is the financial bathtub drain plug / jim
