<<<Puplava and Frank Barbera are wildly bullish on stocks calling for all time highs in the Dow and S&P500 later this year.>>> Wow, I stopped reading Puplava because he looked as a perma bear. When did he switch to being bullish?

How do they know the fed is gonna stop raising rates? They make the MISTAKE of thinking the FED is in CONTROL - as Vosilla keeps telling you - perhaps the FED is just a puppet of our creditors. Karim and Mosler don't seem to know that the fed is gonna stop raising rates. Philster says no one has the crystal ball. He keeps playing this auudio clip from some CNBC guy that gauranteed last june was going to be the last rate increase. It was funny the first few hundred times. Ricahrd Benson seems to agree with Vosilla - the rates are going UP to appease our OVERLORDS - not stopping. safehaven.com ....In looking back now, you can't help but notice how the economic model has changed. For decades, America had an economic model built around recycling savings into investment. In a few short years, those savings have simply vanished and our society has become comfortably cavalier about borrowing far more than they earn. America is now extraordinarily vulnerable to the whims of foreign governments. What if our creditors demanded a higher rate of interest? Perhaps they already have, and the Federal Reserve will have to raise interest rates higher than the capital markets currently expect. ....What about the housing bubble? Mr. Bernanke may be left with only one course of action: Given housing price inflation of 50 to 100 percent in some areas over the past few years, the Fed's goal for the next several years will be how to get inflation up without crushing housing prices because of rising interest rates. A housing price crash could severely affect the financial markets in our country and take the economic system down with it. Mr. Bernanke has spent his entire adult life studying to prevent this from happening and I suspect he will do everything in his power to keep inflation going.
