@hisah. You believe the theories on the JPM/Bear bailout? They say that they should have gone down long ago with all their derivatives...why are they closing their desks? They'll never make Ron Paul president even though he's a republican, they can't handle Austrian economics. I love Peter Schiff, he makes things easy to understand but def need to read up more on Andrew Macguire.

Media doesn't report the bad stuff...

The dollar is going to be the key to virtually all markets. If it continues down it's going to act to support asset prices. Well at least initially. At some point we are going to see the decline become unruly and the Fed's efforts to prop up asset prices will have serious unintended consequences. Namely, surging inflation. Which is already starting to show up in China, India and many emerging markets.

KK what do you make of the BoJ yen intervention today after 6 years of holding back. This is going to give Bernanke and Co some headache. I'm waiting to see if China will buy more Yens again since the Aussie is at extremes. RBA too doesn't look very comfortable with the strong Aussie. Looks like the central bankers are getting nervy...

@ Scubidu, no entity has ever reversed a bull market into a bear market and vice versa. The Japanese have chosen to ignore their dismal performance trying to manipulate the Yen between 2000 and 2004 expending $700 billion.

History repeats because man chooses to ignore the past. Here's a read on Japan's interference with its largest fund managers at the peak of the 1989 stock market and real estate bubble:

Thou shalt not bite the hand that feeds thee

It's now likely that there will be a run on US treasurys based on the current $ flows. I won't be surprised to see global stocks plunge harder than they did this May. Depending on how this unfolds in coming weeks a revisit to the March 2009 lows or lower cannot be ruled out by 2011.
