Not to change the subject, but he actually looks good on the money. Hey, I call it as I see it.

He would look a whole lot better on a toothpaste tube !!!.

I'm sure both China and Brazil will decouple from the US economy. Oh, I heard foreign currencies will be the best bet.

Good luck with that. No, they'll keep talking down dollars & buying them. It's a matter of creating jobs.

my two cents . i read an article couple days ago that china was using the dollars they got from the us like treasuries &so forth and buying up gold &oil &metals , doing this to unload the dollar. did anyone see the article ? guys im a doomer & this stuff scares me to death . just hope we are ready when it happens cause guys i see a bad moon arisen i see trouble on the way .

i definitely saw that article. It was on Bloomberg, I think.

China is turning it's dollars into oil, copper, steel and anything it can get it's hands on.

Now THATS a sensible thing to do at the moment.

My goodness the Chinese don't like Obama's spending spree and his use of the Printing Press. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/financetopics/financialcrisis/5379285/China-warns-Federal-Reserve-over-printing-money.html

The bond markets don't like it either. CYA time.

Here comes inflation. Silver is over $15 today for the first time in a year.

Oil is back up over $60 and holding.

Is this the beginning of a new commodities bull?

I watch commodities quite closely. I'd be real careful at the moment. There may be pops in the values but if the economy collapses wholesale and suddenly (which is what I'm anticipating) the commodities are going to get hurt just as bad.
One the next dip in silver and gold bullion I would buy the real thing. I buy silver bullion exclusively. I buy junior mining companies as well, but not right now.

Might be perceived as a bull market for commodities but really the true value wont go up much in the short term, they will just be worth more dollars as the dollars themselves are worth less. I think thats part of the reason oil has been gaining ground lately, that and the fact that the deficit spending and printing of money has finally started to level off the economic decline at least for now. Might not be a good inflation hedge to invest in commodities related stocks though, what do you guys think?

I think that unless Obama Taxes the Shit out of everybody in the USA to pay for his spending spree, you are going to see hyperinflation and the collapse of the US dollar.

apart from china what other countries have the capacity to fund debt in

USA
UK
EU etc?

Free energy couldn't ever pay that off sum.
