Kip, Telephone lines repaired, back in business. With interest rates reaching historic lows here in the US you would think the banks would celebrate all that cheap money. Did they fall in sympathy with the rest of the market, or is a derrivative meltdown of epic proportions on the horizon? All across the world currencies are dropping and rates are rising to lure back monies seeking safety in the USA. The higher they raise their rates, the more their economies slow down, the more the economies slow the more the currencies drop its a vicious destructive cycle. To raise cash commodities from Russia and oil from the Oil producers are driving prices down into a deflationary spiral. South America should be joining our Asia friends into the economic abyss, followed by Eastern Europe and finally Western Europe and the US.
