We will see if stronger dollar will interfere with stocks. It could. The rules are always the same in the bubble game. For "them" anyhow. In currencies C++ is dumb - the dollar crashed in early 2008 as US lowered rates drastically, while the globe didn't, then the dollar soared as the globe did and US hit rock bottom, then the dollar crashed again as the globe recovered earlier. Printing does not matter, because it's a variable that is not in the model - and don't forget, the Fed bailed out C++, so it rules again. Derivative Ponzi Scheme will get much bigger now. You are already seeing it. 50% of NYSE volume. The PPT is a myth. The global markets are ruled by programmed druids who short circuited last Fall because the Ponzi got too large and ran out of liquidity. The Fed did what they always do under the circumstances - cured the problem with more problem down the road, reliquified. Unlike 2002, a whole bundle more was required to do the job. But I cannot emphasize it more now - the derivative markets now ARE reliquified, so they WON't blow up, not right now.
