is not inflation .. it's more Deflation. No doubt about it. And cash is king. Right now your cash can buy much more SPX than it used to... Q's and other claims on the US productive capacity... more Housing, twice as much Oil. And unemployment hasn't even kicked in yet. About the rally in the USD... I'm not sure this is the case, but I read that one of the reasons for the rally is the unraveling a carry trade which was being done against the USD - not unlike the one with the Japanese yen. The dollar, of course, paid more that the Yen, but in view of an established downtrend in the Dollar, it probably made sense to borrow it and invest in assets denominated in (what used to be) stronger currencies. For whatever reasons, for now, everyone wants the buck.
