>>>If we don't go down VERY soon, we're going much, much higher<<<

That is my greatest fear. Mortenson in his "crash course" put up all of those ugly charts, and said that in the next 20 years things would be very different. The basic question - can real growth keep up with the exponential growth in debt and money supply?

Will he have hyper inflation??

Will we have deflation as a result of unsustainable growth?

My guess - who wouldn't - is that the government will try the time honored approach to print its way out.

Since I am short the banks and all of my crude longs have run way ITM, I am hoping for the latter and fearing the former.

This bear market rally is really getting stale.

"If we don't go down VERY soon, we're going much, much higher (on everything, including T-bond rates, gold, oil, loaves of bread, grain, tequila, BC Bud, .357 ammo and high class hookers that cater to DC politicians......)"

Oil is going higher for sure....ask Boone Pickens, Matt Simmons, Jim Kunstler. ;-) But, there's no inflation, hee hee. And what little inflation there is, will subside later in the year, LOL.

Does gold go up during inflation? ;-)

I'm seriously considering just putting all of my money into oil and walking away....so I don't have to listen to all of the bullshit in the marketplace.
