<Do you expect the FED to pause after the next given hike?>

Don't know about stopping at 2.5%, but I generally agree with McCully's view on their actions (although not his and the Wizards bogus economic theories).

<Did you check out new home inventories?>

Yes, and also note that TOL is down a whopping 15 cents on this. I suspect Jan and Feb, may be more real as far as slow down. Lumber is at all time highs BTW. hardly giving the appearance of deflation.

<As long as the FED keep hiking I doubt gold goes anywhere.>

If they keep up the measured talk, and then pause for any reason, relative to current market expectations (one pause in the next five meetings, and later),

gold will explode, even more so than foreign currencies. It will outperform them all. Watch the Yen, that's where trouble will start showing up, it's about time for another JGB credit downgrade.

I also key on money printing, not just rates, as I consider it a too many Dollars (and Yen and RMB) problem. The world can ill afford more symbiotic trio currency.

the Fed will continue to hike until GDP slips
or until M3 slips
or until consumer spending slips

and the BIGGEE...
or until the Chinese repeg

which will change the entire currency & bond landscape

the Fed will keep hiking until a big problem arises
which will be very difficult to contain
but only then will it be even recognized as a problem
