Thanks, I never thought of looking at ladder strikes like that but it makes a lot of sense. Kb

This is unsustainable. The dollar will be sacrificed and hard assets will benefit. Interestingly, the catalyst to finally set this in strong motion may be the stronger dollar we are getting right now. A stronger dollar chokes off global liquidity, and tightens monetary conditions. It's like a separate, but additional interest rate hike unto itself. This was of course one of the many dangers that the current rate hike campaign by the Fed was bound to unleash. Anyway, however it plays out, this looks set up now to be one of the greatest boomerangs ever seen. I believe the government will start lowering interest rates again and sacrifice the dollar, which will cause oil prices and stocks to skyrocket. Alan G. probably thinks he's currently reloading the gun with bullets, that he "might" like to use later. But you are pointing out what others have observed. This re-loading merely sets A.G. up to be "forced" to unload later. The turnaround, or boomerang, could be lightening fast. Messy, indeed. LP
