<guess we could go back a few posts and look at other predictions > As long as the Japanese fix these markets (treasuries and USD) anything can happen. I'm not making any predictions nor have I been making any other than to call this an extremely unstable situation. I know you're having fun with me (as I do regularly with you; tete for tat, got to be able to take it if you dish it out right <g>), but the only trading strategy you will have found me posting (go for it, look), are short Eurodollar hedges (and short financials, starting to work)used as a detox-counter (in case, heaven forbid, a central bank comes on the scene, or Easy gets hit by lightning) to my much larger crack-up boom, runaway commodity play. As far as the events unfolding, all I see is the huge inflationary fall-out from it, something you (and virtually everybody) appear to ignore? Oh well.
