FNM CEO Raines is a true burokrat fuchup
they will deny the real estate decline until they are last to recognize it publicly
this is a fool of high order
bigger fools are their investors

just read that Comstock Partners report on credit bubbles over recent history
agree with them for the most part

the next recession will be led by a Real Estate decline
it is now written in stone
it represents the final target of Kondratiev Winter
no safe harbors in K-Winter, even if wrapped in USFlags

the USGovt Inflation Machinists will continue to prop the mortgage market
but nothing can stop the RE sector from declines owing to poor job security and gradual eye opening by borrowers
money will get a little tighter for lending

I have come to the conclusion in the last few weeks that....
GOLD AINT GONNA DO SQUAT UNTIL REAL ESTATE DECLINES
then gold will begin a strong ascent, very strong
we have $15 trillion invested in real estate
we have $7 trillion in mortgage bonds

this money will slowly exit RE and MBackeds
and find gold (even marginally) with its eyes closed
my best guess is RE is widely recognized as declining by the end of this year
gold will accelerate by end of this year

the strange element to this equation will be that stocks will continue to attempt to get up, thereby firming the floor for TENS yield and associated mortgage rates... soon smalltime price inflation will appear, but not attract too much attention... it will continue with energy and health costs... this will aid the slowmotion flight out of TrezBonds and MortBacked Bonds

the strange element will be that exit from TBonds and MBonds will attempt but fail to find a happy home in stocks... BUT THAT EXIT WILL END THE BOND BUBBLE AND BEGIN ITS RELEASE OF CONSIDERABLE FLATULLENCE

as Sinclair says "the Fifth Element is the TBond market"
when it declines, GOLD will take off
and not until then, as we have seen

what Prechter misses totally is that we will certainly have inflationary recession
interest rates will rise from producer costs and seloff in TBonds
as foreigners pile on the reasons for departing our TBonds
the easiest reason is refusal to finance our war machine
the USGovt will inflate the monetary base in a way that will be written about in history books for 100 years
nothing has ever been witnessed like it since recorded history

if anyone thinks I tend toward hyperbole, please find another example in human history
the Fed is like a stupid desperate boyscout who keeps squirting kerosene lighter fluid on his smoking embers of a fire, until suddenly someday soon, some month soon, the fire will indeed ignite, and singe every remaining hair of the little deviant pyro's head, and cause an EXPLOSION
this will take time, and might even occur from spontaneous combustion
(of course, GreenSheiss has no surviving hair)

the declining real estate sector will ensure a recession
falling dollar and foreign TBond selling will ensure price inflation
(which I never confuse with monetary inflation)
