gold and treasurys cannot both rise for much longer

I expect severe cross currents in TBonds this winter and spring

Fed decision is great for GOLD, and will make for volatile TBonds
it means monetary inflation continues unabated
commodities will benefit hugely
expect an explosive CRB runup, in particular metals
energy also in significant fashion

TBonds will have to deal with severe cross currents

from one side will be anticipated and implied price deflationary winds, since the Fed seems unconcerned about any threat on the horizon
those not blessed with much experience or skill will continue to march into bonds, believing the Fed is behind them
they will pay no heed to the July bond shock warning signals

from other side will be actual realized price inflation, as seen in commodities, metals, and energy, in addition to Asian import price inflation, as well as continued service sector price inflation, rising tax costs, and billowing defense spending excesses
the more savvy will embrace bond rallies as selling opps

the end result should be the amateurs bidding up TBonds
while the professionals sell their long held positions

the whiff of price inflation is in the air
the Fed is to keep the monetary spigot flowing heavily
until they see the "whites of the price inflation eyes"

WHEN THEY FINALLY DO, IT WILL BE TOO LATE
IN FACT, THEY HAVE POOR STATISTICAL MEASURES TO DETECT IT
THEY HAVE POOR DEFINITIONS TO IDENTIFY WHAT THEY EVEN SEE
THE FED HAS A LONG HISTORY OF OVERSHOOTING
THIS TIME WILL BE NO DIFFERENT
THEY OVERSHOT IN TIGHTENING IN 2000, EARNING A STOCK BUST
THEY WILL OVERSHOOT IN 2004, EARNING A BOND BUST


THIS IS PHENOMENALLY GOOD NEWS FOR GOLD
AND FULLY ANTICIPATED HERE
I HAVE EXPECTED THE FED TO OVERSHOOT EVER SINCE I BEGAN MY GOLDS IN SPRING 2002
THAT IS THEIR HISTORICAL PATTERN
THEY ARE CAUGHT BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE
UCK EM, JIM

p.s. if inflation evidence arrives, GREAT FOR GOLD !!!
(since gold is a true inflation hedge)
and if bonds falter from Fed tightening, GREAT FOR GOLD !!!
(since an exodus from bonds heads into gold)
