I doubt we will see much re: QE2 unless stocks, commodities and gold correct significantly. QE 2 in the face of strongly rising and high asset (and especially gold) prices could totally collapse the greenback.

Must disagree somewhat. Since the Fed is independent, it may well engage in more QE if Congress does not stimulate, not less. As to gold, I cannot imagine a situation in which the global powers that be would allow systemic European crash, which would probably be nearly as positive for gold as a real crash. Yes, Europe is a mess.

ep I was thinking that part of the problem with your system is 2 year elections.. It takes longer to implement a good plan ... little time to screw things up... looks like your system is weighted towards failure.. I understand the paranoia about folks getting too much power.. but it seems that issue is moot.. the machine lives regardless of party ... who all seem to spend most time getting reelected ...

Vale tries to take out Australians advantage. Its ore is better (has more iron per ton of the ore) but each ton of Vale iron ore pays 30 days more of shipping. Vale ordered 35 units of 400.000 ton ships. 360m long ship. As a comparison: The US aircraft carrier Enterprise is 342m long. It is about the size of a Royal Caribbean cruising ship. Nineteen bought directly others contracted through shipping companies to ship iron ore for the next 25 years. Vale thinks it can get cheaper iron ore to China with the big ships. Has projects ready for even bigger ones: 500.000 and 600.000 tons ships. SOURCE: O Estado de São Paulo newspaper.
