dont look now, but TBond bubble got pinpricked bigtime
TENS yield is at 4.02%

S&P is down 8+ pts, but bond yields are up 5 bpts
this could be a "double-down" day for stocks & bonds

huge gamble now by stock market
money has gone out of bonds, into stocks
stocks anticipate hefty rise in earnings
they will only get a pittance rise
by winter, we will have stocks, bonds, and dollar all heading down
and gold heading up so clearly that even Xeev will be able to notice

dont look now, but crude oil is at $32
so much for the Iraqi War dividend
what a joke!!!

clowns in press, media, even financial leaders are mistakenly under the impression that commodity price rise is a signal of the economy picking up

IT IS NOT
commodity prices are rising from the falling USDollar
this is the most horrible form of price inflation
it is from production costs rising
look for shrinking profit margins

there is very little evidence of competent economic thought
there is plenty of cheerleading, hope, and deception
there is much pointing to historical patterns, ignoring the differences today, and emphasizing the "typical patterns"
those patterns just dont apply here and now
