It'll be those fucking hedge funds again.

They changed the rules recently so you have to publicly declare your interest in a short if it's a quoted stock.

No such restrictions for currencies and gold tho.
Anonymity and market manipulation still possible in those markets.

Hang onto yer hats.

this is an amazing dollar rally wow

think alot of dollar shorts getting squeezed like mad the boat was too heavy for too long....and the deflationist mentality starting to creep up the past few weeks

75.771

we'll see if my gold okay deflation or not holds through it all.....850 a brick wall so far

oil 116.24

strange rally today guess the near term oil down good for equities mentality....banks not leading the pack just up around the same amount overall

fear seems super high in the miner world might be a capitulation bottom after big smackdown

mfn in 8-9 range...8.46....buy, buy, buy

gold looks like its ready to bounce offa 850....back to 856

just can't see how a hyper dollar rally is good in our situation

we in gobs of debt to the rest of the world so our debt burden growing bigger

plus all the international growth, postive currency conversion stuff for multinational stuff i babbled about many times

Why not just buy farmland in Canada in the right area?

Our real estate prices haven't crashed, Michigan's has (still is). Good farming area, lots of irrigation, dirt dirt cheap land prices. FairWarning (poster here) says many lovely things about the countryside in that state, plus it's not far for me to visit family and friends.

We'll see ... not sure how bad I want to live there, but I suppose if I'm surrounded by fields, it doesn't make a huge difference either way.

Tho, the boyfriend just looked at me like I have four heads when I suggested this.

i'd chill out for a bit to see how this all evolves first

but yeah i'm sure michigan might be looking pretty good due to the detroit problems spreading

farmland could really tank if this gets really bad

i know farmland in iowa is absolutely absurd right now.....was getting to point only logical direction was down

why not land in michigan, there is no better use these days...

me thinks the usd rally is a result of euroland growth coming to a skretching halt, japan on brink of, if not in a recession, and the so-called commodity currencies, such as X's loonie getting whacked by the drop in demand for copper, oil, gold, etc.

mfn sure looks tempting, trigger finger getting itchy down here at 8.35...

yep gd reasoning just always some political risk all be it small. Was looking about a year ago at cheap farmland in Saskatchewan but seems to have gone up a lot this year.

Anyway, I think the USD rise has much to do with China and the Olympics. A possible rally to keep the news good, global spirits up, optimism afloat.

Good time to head to the bank, imo. This kind of rally should be short-lived.

Thats a very interesting thought on the rally. BTW, I'm sure water is not an issue for Michigan land, what are some of the crop ratios-yield/acre for the higher load parcels-and purety.

the contagion just spreading elsewhere, the euro how high it got was just insane its a flawed currency

euroland still has alot of bad news on the bank side that is in its infancy stages

the USD rally just tells me this gonna be a massive global recession and the rest of the world will be scrambling to cut rates vs. the inflation fighting in the not too distant future

the currency tends to predict policy movements

going to new lows (who knows if they go under) on WM before your 10 target

or my probability meter says so LOL

today is so weird guess all the bread and butter stocks (who depend on international growth and USD rampage saying they in trouble) as well as tech's ramping banks really not doing a whole lot

today is a very eerie day to tizgloom

near term the markets continue to get fooled by oil i suppose....
