I disagree with your analysis.

If long term U.S. interest rates rise and negatively impact the U.S. markets, other markets will be affected. All markets are now interlinked. Unlike thirty years ago, there are no safe zones.

[...] from that scenario – rampant inflation. In fact, U.S. consumers are probably headed for the worst bout of inflation since the 1980s. And that makes the so-called “exit strategy” of U.S. Federal Reserve [...]

The KNUCKLEHEADS in Washington are on the way to ruining the USA via overspending and over taxing…(Obama is now saying he is going to raise taxes on the middle class) …this is not what he said during the election… There is a hiddden agenda in Washington and we all know it…or do we? Wake up…

Rarely have i had the pleasure of perusing an analysis which combines breath-taking candour in tandem with a veritably scientific ratiocination competely devoid of wishful thinking or tergiversation rendered compulsory by individual (vested or otherwise) interests. Your analysis constitutes an exemplary specimen of deductive reasoning, permeated by the brilliant causal thinking of the Age of Reason which afforded the West a giant leap forward and which, now abandoned, pounces on us in the guise of inescapable Nemesis. However, there is an additional concern, which, i fear, has not, yet, been adequately examined: termination of industrial production, a plague which virtually emasculated the West during the last 20-year period guarantees inability to recover, both in the context of medium- and long term-restructring. I cannot but submit to the necessity of the deduction that the period of Western ascendancy, embarked upon by the First Crusade, is now concluding at break-neck speed.

Tom,

After you read this I would like to discuss with you what we talked about over lunch. I would like to short the marked.

The market WILL reverse itself; it’s not “if” but “when.” I do not plan on sitting on the sidelines watching this correction.

Thanks,

Horace

Enjoyed the article, but disagree about this being peacetime. The US is waging three costly wars – Iraq, Afghanistan and Columbia – all of which have been hugely costly, none of which appear will conclude successfully. The deficit ballooned because of these military mis-adventures, putting the budget in the red well before the housing bubble burst and the financial gambling melted down.

Excellent post. The deficit spending will have an impact on interest rates, the US dollar, etc. But with all the stimulus spending on infrastructure, US bridges remain in disrepair which should be the most important priority as far as the funds allocated to transportation. If a group of innercity kids can figure it out then I know adults can. To learn more go to http://www.newyorkshockexchange.com/content/view/99/37/
