<ask "more" about the reaction.>

Exactly, what's more likely to happen in this lying POS/MOP environment, a USD and financial panic, and a crack up boom into real assets (flucht in die sachwerte), or a flight into friggin treasury bonds (and the same people who brought you Allan Greenspan)?

good post. it is after all the animal spirits that matter.
perhaps we can all just find the right balance of inflationary and deflationary fears and they will cancel out as we go on our merry ways?
I was wondering whether the jobs BS wasnt designed to spike some inflationary panic...should work after all, at least for a fashion.

Great post. I'd like to know what specifically you are looking at that makes you think that now is the momoment of truth.

I have been sort of thinking that as long if the 3 Amigos remain in action (Greenspan pumping, the carry trade carrying, and Asian Central banks buying), and if the Russ Winter train stays on the track until the last pound of copper goes out the door, then we have a few more months.

I am totally imprressed by the power of the powers-that-be to find yet one more way to hold off chaos.

(Edit: let me edit that last sentence: I am impressed by the power of the powers-that-be to hold off the chaos that THEIR OWN ACTIONS make inevitable......)
