His scenario on China is directly opposed to Chanos'....fascinating.

I've started legging in a bit on Brazillian stuff, mainly Petrobras. They'll benefit from global reflation, plus they'll benefit from the GOM oil production dropping and the exodus of rigs from the gulf (with lower day rates as a result). Win-win-win for them.....provided we don't fall into the tank globally.

ork,

Yea, Doug Kass looks like a genius right now. So now Noland too. But, I'm not a big Noland or Cass fan. RR is not so great on the short term stuff, but of course I believe his long term stuff is spot on.

Decisions.

Anyone who is semi-bullish needs to read the latest from Hussman; it makes a lot of sense.

ok, I read it again -- I think there is more going on with treasuries and the dollar than the crisis of confidence in the PIIGS.

Would an unwind of the dollar be net positive for equities?? usually it works that way ... and it must be what a lot of folks are betting on with the recent rally -- I don't think the observation is terribly insightful.

Stock can too go down with the dollar ... and so can ... gold.
