US Dollar

    It looks like the triangle I discussed for the US Dollar might play out, it also measures back to the Mar 09 highs! If that happens, then I would expect a large ABC pullback, possibly to retrace 38% - 50% of the rally from the Nov lows, but after that then another major rally.  Looks like Precther was ultimately right on the Dollar, these are impulsive wave counts moves higher

    The Dollar move supports the deflationary scenario instead of the inflationary one.

    Question for Matt

    Matt,    Why does a strengthening $US support a deflationary move rather than an inflationary trend?  Doesn't the current  $US strength reflect more of a flight to safety from the Euro (the lesser of two evils)?  Beck67er

    Yes that's true, we are

    Yes that's true, we are seeing a flight to safefy (lesser of two evils), however remember that's what we saw in 2008, the dollar had a strong rally. 

    All of this debt around the world is deflationary, not inflationary, just printing money is not a sure way to inflation, it's more about economic grow and bank lending and credit lines.  It's just my personal opinion, but the inflation scenario is too easy, too mainstream, the contrarian in me tell me that we will first see deflation, and then maybe we'll get inflation down the road.  And look at commodities, the only thing holding up is gold for now, the CRB index tells us that inflation is not a problem

    watch this video to understand how the money supply really works.  There is far too much debt out there to just easily print our way out

    MONEY AS DEBT

    Gold:Silver ratio agreeing with you

    Gold:Silver ratio agreeing with you Matt as silver is badly outperforming gold % wise and thus a deflationary scenario.............Old adage is as silver underperforms liquidity is leaving the market...........yikes!
