hats off to Liesman of CNBC, finally sees the gold picture
on CNBC this morning, a five-minute discussion on gold
he focused on gold and commodities, producing a chart for each
he mentioned the Fed Monetization plan to stave off deflation
he said gold is forecasting some price inflation next year
he said you can already see it in the energy sector
he concluded that STAGFLATION is a likely outcome

he has little understanding of productivity
but he is seeing the monetization-led return of inflation and the early evidence in GOLD and CRB
but no mention of the massive short position and upcoming squeeze

he cited the falling dollar as continually feeding the inflation theme, since so many commodities are imported, along with Asian imports and components

the guest host echoed the same sentiments
they showed a brief clip of some fellow who pounded the table on the major dollar-led rise in gold & CRB

the press/media has begun to see the light

a factor two to make the picture more colorful: German export to US (at cca 10%) equal to export to the new 10 members (Poland, Chech republic etc). The biggest piece of German export cake goes to France. Out-of-EU percentage at 20% (out of my head, but should be close to real, lets say 2001 figures)

Otoh, every single percent counts (g). And given the handle US$ has on oil...

Looks to me anyway, the stuff, approaching the fan in time loupe, has a very worldly, cosmopolitan colour; "For whom the bell tolls?" - "For you, suckers of the world;\"

Thanks anyhow, jw.
