Hi Bill, Oil is testing its recent high. This is not only a test of oil availability but also whether the dollar can hold its recent value range. If oil goes up and the dollar goes down everybody knows which way the market is going. Even Vi will make some money in gold. It is possible this might set up to be the Big ONE. Is it time for a Kahuna Warning????? Skeet

Well, I think money will be printed to stall any uptick in interest rates now, but I may be wrong. The victim is the dollar. Nothing changed in the US policy. Folks are just seeing high gas prices, so they are now starting to get it - there is inflation, regardless of BLS statistics. But the country can't afford higher rates now. I guess accidents happen, but fresh money is being dropped from helicopters on everything. More money, less value? LT rates show some signs of stabilization now. Greenie is not gonna raise, and the bond market gets on the back of the carry trade, yet again! There is little risk, since this market is not free - it's fixed by the Fed. At least, at the low end! This is one big mess. I think of hyperinflation as a possible outcome as well, unfortunately. Our worst fears have never materialized. So? Here we go again, stagflation. The best environment.... for GOLD! And, the best way out of this mess for the US of A(IMHO). Drop the buck a bit, and the bubble never happened -g-
