Yen

The Japs are having to cut interest rates because the yen is to high, because the dollar is dropping like a lead weight in a septic tank full of the world currencies. The dollar is down almost 3/4 of one percent today. In other words the foreigners who are holding our dollars and our debt valued in dollars just lost a lot of money and you think they are going to keep investing in our debt? It looks like a race among the countries to see who can drive down their currency the fastest and the mostest.

It's all a vast, right-wing conspiracy. Big banks, big oil, and mega-corps are all conspiring to bring down the dollar right before the election.

There. I said it before any left-wing loon came up with this nonsense within their vacuous skull.

It's a bag of worms, the lower dollars makes a nice temp fix to all problems. Today's market rally is nothing but a play on the weak dollar. There are some gaps in the euro and when the euro heads down to fill those gaps it isn't going to be pretty. But that won't be until after the elections, until then...... party on!

They're doing everything they can to prop up this fake market until after the election, at the latest after Jan. 1.

After that, it's all downhill.

Don't hold anything overnight. Get back into cash before market close each day. That's it.

Notice how the oops we can't repo the bubbleized houses worked out nicely for the banks? Since they don't have to, or can't foreclose on them they keep the properties on the books instead of having to take the write offs.

But, but, but Obama said the recession was over.

Same crap the US is trying to do with China. Devalue and debase the currency is like lowering the value of your wages.

Say a barrel of oil costs $80 like earlier this week. If I can devalue the currency in 1/2, then you need twice the currency to buy the next barrel, $160. Oil didn't go up, the value of the currency went down. Hard cocept I know, but media polishes the governments turds on this. Sounds better to say oil went up, a politicial no no to say government screwed up currency and you need more of it to buy the same stuff.

Inflation is about currency devaluation. Trouble is, while it may make your domestic products cheaper for other countries to import, it has the nasty effect of inflation without wage increases for the people. Lower standard of living results.

In the end, it does not work as union strife, more people become working poor, buy less and as a result pricing pressures drive prices down.

Part of the real problem is government/banks interest policy. If people get zero interest for money savings, then the money gets horded in non-investment situations. Thus the economy stalls.

If you ask me, government is deliberately causing this depression. Low interest rates and massive debt/inflationary currency creating is creating a huge bubble that will burst.

My guess is beginning 2011, I expect 15 to 30% inflation every year. And will continue until the monitary system collapses or government wakes up from its massive debt denial ponzi and corruption schemes. Might even be civil revolts.
