We (JPM) will have to be buying when they sell us their dollars.
Deflation is a common persistent misconception. Not here.
The monetary policy is to prop assets, run financial
bubbles at the expense of real economy, commodities are a
spillover, while the dollar drop is the undesired
direct result. It is propped too. Hank said, Jamie obeyed. <G>
When this crashes, stocks will sink along with bonds,
quadrillions in propping instruments (derivatives), the
Fed, the US government, and the dollar. Problem is,
they have to prop the clownbuck against their models
(interest rates differentials). The current account does
not help either. We are going to visit Buenos Aires,
circa 2001. Folks just keep hoping against all odds
we are not going there because of mythical "deflation".
Sell the buck, price goes down. <G>

Hey, foreigners hold a few trillion of agency
bonds. They must be very confident in those, and will
NEVER EVER SELL them. Oops. That despite FNM and FRE stocks
crashing Yesterday. Note how a down move for USD
immediately crashes the market now. How things have changed...
They financed the credit bubble. We borrowed from them
to consume and moved our manufacturing to China. Now stuff
is hitting the fan.
