wait until Phase #2 gets some steam, as Asian Effect hits

when the bond market smells price inflation in certain sectors, the money coming out of bonds will be substantial
it can sniff it now with CRB breakout, but no effect yet
e.g. Asian import produce prices
energy prices, food prices, industrial metal prices
(all the stuff priced in dollars)

its new pursued destination will be commodities
if the USEconomy falters, then the USDollar will head to dangerous new lows
and commodity prices will zoom even in the face of recession
this is the primary characteristic of upcoming STAGFLATION

the CRB pullback here is no big deal
we broke out, then pulled back
peek the head out the window, then pull it back
in time the entire body emerges

you are being led into AGGREGATE THINKING
we have price deflation
we have price inflation

ANYONE WHO FAILS TO RECOGNIZE THIS IS UTTERLY CLUELESS

the Federal Reserve, as I have said incessantly, will pump and pump and pump until the cows come home
that is all they know how to do
if credit is not extended willingly, then the Fed will monetize bonds and the federal deficit in order to infuse funny money into the system

the ultimate victim in the sacrifice will be the USDollar
the defended sick child will be USTrez Bonds

the Wild Card in my mind is the planned and executed Chinese recession
theirs will be a healthy correction
its spread to USEconomy will be devastating, but will not prevent price inflation from hitting our shores

you cannot open the monetary spigot with unprecedented monetary inflation for 30 years without consequences
we have two:
product price deflation
necessity and commodity price inflation
which will shrink profit margins and reduce household budgets
