BBR will serve as one of my watch towers for macro proceedings in the gloom and doom stakes. It has always been one of mine. Elmat has unfortunately allowed a good place to get out of control. The signal to noise ratio is presently very low. Part of the boom/bust thread cycle. Given the fact that the US is undergoing underreported inflation [it is likely in the 7% to 9% vicinity, perhaps more] while the Fed's interest rate is 2% at a time when the Fed is inflating the money supply, it is only a matter of time before the Fed will be forced by an acknowledgment of inflationary circumstances to raise rates. A mix of inflation, high liquidity and low interest rates is crazy and unsustainable. Bernanke is not acting in the public interest by keeping rates as low as he has. He will be forced by circumstances to raise them. This is inevitable, predicted, foretold, and predestined. We all know what will happen when the Fed raises, as it must: Stock markets will tank. In the meantime, all the liquidity being created must make a bubble. What better place than the stock market? Perhaps Bernanke feels that he can destroy a significant portion of the unnecessary liquidity he has created when he raises rates The question is: When will the Fed raise rates?

>>BBR will serve as one of my watch towers for macro proceedings in the gloom and doom stakes.<< BOB DYLAN - All Along the Watchtower youtube.com "There must be some way out of here" said the joker to the thief "There's too much confusion", I can't get no relief Businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth None of them along the line know what any of it is worth. "No reason to get excited", the thief he kindly spoke "There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke But you and I, we've been through that, and this is not our fate So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late". All along the watchtower, princes kept the view While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too. Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.
