Inflation or Deflation
Enrico Orlandini
Oct 4, 2006
From most if not all aspects,
it's been an interesting month. We are heading toward a mid-term
election in the United States and that figures heavily into the
market equation. If you are a Republican, you have to tell everyone
what a wonderful job you're doing and make it believable. A Democrat
on the other hand, must shine a light on all of the current administration's
errors and it seems to me that the Bush White House is making
their job a lot easier than it should be. You have the President
saying that the US is safer because of the war in Iraq while,
at the same time, the White House is releasing a study that shows
that the war in Iraq is actually serving to increase the chances
of terrorism in the U.S. Go figure! From an outsider's perspective,
the U.S. made a fatal error: they looked at everything through
American rose colored glasses. Thinking outside of the box was
neither wanted nor was it allowed. Only "yes men" need
apply. Obviously someone forgot to read their history books or
they would have remembered the valuable lessons taught by the
Bay of Pigs invasion.
What does the Bay of Pigs have
to do with the current situation? Plenty as far as I can tell!
You see back in the early 60's, all of Kennedy's advisors locked
themselves in a room and debated the wisdom of invading Cuba.
To a man they were all against it, and to a man not one spoke
up because each one was afraid that he would be the only one
to express a negative opinion. So they unanimously agreed to
the invasion and it proved to be a disaster. The end result was
that all the troops we armed and sent over there were slaughtered
on captured on the beach and Castro is still leading Cuba forty
years later. Today's situation is a little bit different but
the outcome will be the same. You have the closed-to-the-public
Cheney/Rumsfeld clique with an agenda that has little or nothing
to do with a better and safer United States [1],
dominating any and all policy decisions. Opinions to the contrary
are not required nor accepted if one is interested in long term
gainful employment. What is required is blind faith mixed with
a modicum of intelligence and a willingness to openly violate
the U.S. Constitution whenever the clique deems it necessary.
You have a sitting President of the United States admitting to
secret prisons, holding people without benefit of an attorney
and access to the legal system for years, illegal search and
seizures, illegal wiretaps, and that all seems to be peachy keen.
At the risk of getting ten thousand unwanted e-mails, I seem
to recall the Nazis doing the same thing. All I can say is wait
until there is a knock on your door at 4 am and they take you
away. It will be too late to object then.
Assuming that you're willing
to accept these violations of your rights, along with your shrinking
freedom, as part of the cost of a "safer" United States,
and most Americans are willing to make that trade-off [2],
you need to understand that there is another cost. That cost
is economic and it is out of control. The current administration's
policy of shop-until-you-drop, mixed with shrinking tax revenues
and a slowing economy, has Depression written all over it. To
the best of my knowledge this administration has never vetoed
a spending bill. Never! Meanwhile the trade deficit hits a new
record high every couple of months and then there is the cost
of the two wars. Everybody thought Afghanistan was over and done
with, but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore as the Taliban
found new life. Anyone who has a good working knowledge of the
Arab culture could have told you how this would have played out
but I suspect that wasn't one of the prerequisites for membership
in the Cheney/Rumsfeld club. So expenses are through the roof,
income is declining, I need to pay my bills, and my bank of last
resort (Asia) seems unwilling to give me all their hard earned
saving like they did in the past. What do I do? There are no
secrets here folks; you have three choices if you are a government:
spend less, borrow more, or print money! There is no magic involved
here. No mysterious remedies to fall back on. Just plain old
common sense alternatives that you and I face every day of our
lives.
Since we are alienating most
of our friends, and at the same time sounding our ethnocentric
trumpets, I suspect that borrowing large sums of money will be
next to impossible. This will be further complicated by the fact
that the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank apparently wants to lower
interest rates, just when the rest of the world is raising their
rates. You see when you buy some one else's debt, you weigh three
things: time, risk and the interest rate paid on the debt. The
risk is growing, the interest rate is not competitive, and the
future is uncertain at best so it's a hard sell. Cutting expenses
is something no politician will ever recommend. I think it must
be genetic by now. The first rule in the politician's handbook
is that you must hand out money if you want to get elected, and
in that respect both Democrats and Republicans read from the
same book. So selling debt and cutting expenses are at best inadequate,
and at worst totally out of the question. That only leaves the
tool of last resort, i.e., the printing press. And print they
will my friends! I believe once the November elections are over
you will see a deluge of money coming out of the Federal Reserve
banks the likes of which you could never have imagined. For the
last couple of months the current administration has been busy
painting happy faces on the economy. The Dow is very close to
a new high, the price of oil is down almost twenty dollars from
its Spring high, and the decline in the CRB typifies a general
slide in commodities prices. All just in time for the election!
Many of my clients feel that
this is all orchestrated by the present administration and will
continue until the November elections. That very well may be
the government's intention, I don't know, but I have studied
the market long enough to know one thing: the market will almost
always do what you don't want it to do just when you don't want
it do to it. That's part of the law of unintended consequences.
You tamper with it to make a dime and it strikes back costing
you a dollar. A lot of people are under the illusion that people
like the Rothschild's control and manipulate the markets for
their own benefit. I disagree! People like the Rothschild's have
made, and maintained, there fortunes anticipating the
major political, economic, and financial moves in the world [3]. They would be among the first to take a position
and then they would just sit and wait for the inevitable to happen.
I know it seems too simple, but that's how the "smart money"
does it. Get in early and sit tight!
Over the last month or so I
have noticed what appears to be accumulation in a number of commodities
including gold, silver, and copper. I've also noticed that wheat
and corn have broken out over the last week and oil has experienced
an upside reversal. All very strange behavior if you expect a
recession given the decline in economic activity that we see
in the U.S. Finally, while everyone is busy talking about the
decline in housing, the Philadelphia Housing Index ($HGX) has
quietly been rebounding to the upside. Take a look at the Weekly
Chart below:
Note how the RSI, MACD, and
histograms have all turned up. Don't jump to the conclusion that
the housing boom is alive and well because that isn't the case.
The fat lady has sung for housing and this is just a reaction.
Put the resurgence in housing together with the other things
I mentioned above and it is very strange behavior indeed! How
do I explain these contrasts? In one word: stagflation.
A simple definition of stagflation is rising prices coupled with
a slowing economy. Why would prices rise? Too much money chasing
too few goods and it is a direct result of strong demand from
almost three billion Asians.
Right about now, it would be
worth mentioning that the U.S. consumer is also holding up his
end of the log with a relentless spending spree. Take a good
long look at the best and most relentless bull market you will
ever see, the Weekly Chart of the Morgan Stanley Consumer Index
($CMR):
The only word that can adequately
describe this is relentless. Not even a hint of correction in
an extremely overbought market. Think of it as the house that
debt built. There is an end in sight though and I believe you'll
see it in October, on or about the 17th to be exact [4],
and then you'll really see the printing presses heat up. I have
wondered out loud for the past several months just how the US
plans to finance their debt with a loose money policy when the
rest of the world is tightening. Well the answer is the one I
didn't want to acknowledge: they are going to print their own
money and buy their own debt through the Caribbean Money Centers.
The Fed is so afraid of the affects deflation can have on the
heaping, steaming pile of debt in the U.S., that they are willing
to drive the U.S. economy into a hyperinflationary crisis
in order to avoid it. Hyperinflation will eliminate the debt
but it will also destroy the economy.
In conclusion, it appears to
me that a combination of poor fiscal management, bad foreign
policy, and political myopia are all about to combine into some
sort of strange brew at precisely the worse time, and
it will lead to a financial crisis. This crisis will be worse
than the Depression of 1929 owing to the staggering amount of
debt in the U.S. In 1929, the US was a creditor nation and had
the resources to deal with the problem. That is obviously not
the case now. The only "solution" will be to print
money, and at first it will work like a drug addict's fix bringing
temporary relief, but the end result will be economic death.
I also believe that people in the Fed as well as the government
know this is going to happen and are making "contingency
plans". It won't be pretty and it will lead to social unrest.
You can't pull away the punch bowl from three hundred million
American's and expect to slide through on you good looks and
a few witty remarks. Things will change and it won't be for the
better. How long this takes to unfold will be anyone's guess;
weeks, months, or even a couple of years. But I believe it will
start now and you will be able to identify it if you really want
to. Given the predominance of the internet, I believe we are
looking at weeks or months rather than years. Throw in trillions
of dollars of unregistered over-the-counter derivatives that
very few people understand and even fewer can quantify, and a
bad situation could turn down right ugly in days. I think that
goes a long way toward explaining the record volume seen in the
gold pit recently. The smart money is quietly picking up all
they can get while the getting is still good. It is better to
trade all the fiat paper you can for the only true store of wealth
that has stood the test of time. My best advice is to bundle
up because it is going to be a long, cold, crude winter.
MARKET COMMENTARY
Given everything I've said
above, I feel there are very few options available to the average
investor. Most Americans are not students of the market and wouldn't
take the time to learn about it even if the opportunity were
presented to them. They've been trained to blindly hand over
there life's savings to people and institutions they know little
or nothing about because CNN tells them to. I know that's precisely
how I make my living, but I really have a hard time understanding
that. When a new client approaches me to make an investment I
offer to provide my service free of charge in an effort to educate
him and, at the same time, help him understand why I make the
decisions I do. Most of my US clients refuse the information
saying they just want the statement and aren't the least bit
interested in how I go about it. By contrast, almost all of my
European and Asian clients request the information and will complain
if it doesn't arrive before the U.S. market opens. Their statement
can arrive a day late and they don't say a word, but the analysis
is five minutes late and I get a hundred e-mails. What a difference
in priorities! The average U.S. investor is not going to short
the DJIA, and he's not going to short bonds, and he's certain
not going to buy corn or the CRB. Just the thought of it makes
him cringe. He will buy gold stocks though and with some luck
he'll drive over to his neighborhood coin shop and buy a few
Maple Leafs. With that in mind, I would line to begin with my
favorite item... gold.
GOLD - It has been a tough summer for the yellow
metal as prices fell from the May 11th high of $742.00 (bases
the October 2006 gold futures contract) to the June 14th low
of $551.50. Since then gold has undergone a period of accumulation
that has led to several false starts and dashed hopes as gold
bugs piled on to soon and paid for it. In mid-September we tested
the June low and made what appears to be a higher low at $571.00
and that is important, especially when you consider that we are
due to begin the seasonal rally. If you take a close look at
the historical chart for gold below, you'll see that beginning
in 2001, the price of gold has rallied in the Fall. The rally
usually begins in September and lasts until January although
last year's rally began in August and lasted until May. I believe
that change marked the beginning of the second phase of our once-in-a-lifetime
bull market for gold. The first phase lasted an extraordinarily
long time, beginning in 1999 with the bottom and ending in 2005,
and was highlighted by "smart monies" accumulation
of gold. The still new-born second phase will be driven by institutional
buying as the J. P. Morgan's of the world begin to sing the praises
of gold. Eventually we'll have the third phase whereby the man-on-the-street
piles on and gold prices are driven skyward [5].
Another even more important
thing to wheedle out from the chart above is the fact that, in
spite of the recent downward reaction, the bull market in gold
is very much alive and well. It will remain so as long as we
remain above the spot price of $545.00 on a closing basis.
Over the short run, I expect
a lot of volatility and maybe even another test of the recent
$571.00 low in the October 2006 futures contract ($569.70 in
the spot price) although it becomes less likely with each passing
day. Within a week or so, I expect a test of a trend line that
passes through $615.00 and an eventual close above it. That will
signify a break out and we should be off to the races with a
close above 728.00 by year's end. There will be hurdles along
the way with significant resistance at $644.50
and decent resistance at $664.20 and $686.20 (all using the spot
price) but I don't think anything can stop gold from breaking
through $728.60 by the end of the year. Furthermore, I believe
we'll see significant advances after the November elections and
there is a chance for a new all-time high if the rally extends
into the Spring as it did last year. In my opinion, this is the
last best opportunity to buy one of the cheapest things on the
planet, i.e., gold!
SILVER - Gold's poor cousin has acted better than the
yellow metal and is clearly trending up with a series of higher
highs and higher lows. Likewise, if you were to go to www.cstrading.com
and pull up an historical chart of silver (not shown), you would
see an equally impressive and more volatile bull market for the
white metal. For a more up-to-date look at silver, feast your
eyes on the Weekly Chart below:
In spite of the May to June
correction, the trend is clearly up and we have used the 50-wma
as good support. That average is currently at $10.62 and we closed
84 cents above it on Friday, September 29th. Recently silver
has worked off an overbought condition without suffering a lot
of damage and the RSI has turned up. It also appears that the
MACD is about to do the same. Quite impressive if you stop to
think that silver has retained almost 65% of its gains from last
year's strong rally.
With respect to the short term,
I am looking for a test of the $15.20 May high by year's
end and expect to see a test of strong resistance at $20.73
before this rally finally gives up the ghost. There will be resistance
along the way: 12.07, 12.64, 13.27, 14.81, and 18.56 are the
numbers you need to watch as we work our way up. As we experienced
in the last go around to the upside, silver should be more volatile
than gold and one must be careful if you use margin. I can't
overemphasize the fact that everyone should own physical gold
and silver as they will both be the only real money when all
the dust settles.
GOLD STOCKS - There is little new under the sun
here other than to question if gold stocks will be pulled down
when the Dow eventually turns down. I suspect there will be an
initial downward reaction that could last weeks of even several
months. Why? When stocks turn sour the first knee-jerk response
will be to throw out the good with the bad; the good in this
case being gold stocks and the bad being just about everything
else. What to do now is up to the individual investor. Some will
choose to lighten up and wait for the reaction while others will
ride it out. The risk one takes by selling now is that we may
not correct and you will be forced to pay up to get back in.
That is a risk I am not willing to take and will therefore sit
tight. My portfolio is the same as it was last month:
- Gold Corp (GG) = 20%
- Glamis (GLG) = 15%
- Royal Gold (RGLD) = 20%
- Newmont (NEM) = 15%
- Coeur D'Alene (CDE) = 15%
- Silver Wheaton (SLW) =
15%
and I do not anticipate any
changes in the near future. These are what I consider to be the
bluest of the blue chip companies in the mining industry, and
as such they are constant targets for misinformation, lawsuits,
and governmental interference. That goes with the territory.
Let me give you an example: last week a major newspaper published
a report that Newmont's production will decline in the future.
That should come as no surprise to anyone with half a brain as
supply for all major mining companies is finite and will decline
over the coming years as reserves become harder to discover.
With very few exceptions, the major companies will have to "buy"
their reserves by acquiring promising juniors. The discovery
of large deposits will be few and far between.
I chose my portfolio for the
security as well as for the dividend potential. I calculate that
by the end of 2007 these companies should pay a 10% cash dividend
and that's just fine with me. I'll welcome the cash flow in my
declining years. For those of you who like to speculate more
than I do, I would recommend Golden Star, Samex, and Durban as
decent small companies with take-over potential. I held these
companies from 2001 until mid-2004 and did very well.
OIL - Just when it looked like it was time to abandon
ship, oil went and fooled everybody. The day was Wednesday and
oil opened down and looked like it was going to plumb the depths
of despair yet again. Early in the session, it traded as low
as $60.10 bases the November crude oil contract and then something
strange happened; it began to rally. By the time the final bell
sounded, oil had jumped $2.86 to finish the day at $62.96, and
what is even more significant, had managed to execute an upside
reversal. I saw that as a buying opportunity and took an initial
small long position in crude oil. This is not a guarantee that
the bloodletting is over, but it is a good indicator of a bottom.
There could be a retest and even a slightly lower low, but if
we are not there, we are quite close. Take a look at the Weekly
Chart for crude oil:
and you'll also observe that
RSI, MACD, and the histograms have all turned up and that is
a bullish indicator. The last thing this administration wants
it to see a bottom in oil right now and a subsequent rally, but
you don't always get what you want. In all honestly I was hoping
for a decline and test of good support at $58.68 in the spot
price, but it wasn't to be (although there is a slim chance
we could still see it).
Assuming the bottom is in,
we may see a period of consolidation as speculators reestablish
their long positions. Trading could be range bound with $60.00
acting as a floor and $67.50 as the ceiling. As we work our way
back up, we will encounter resistance at various levels: $64.80,
$67.58, $70.12, $72.57, and $75.14 (all based on the
November 2006 futures contract) are some of the more important
numbers. Oil will no doubt be volatile as political intrigues
exert upward/downward influences and interested parties try to
talk the price down. Over the long run they are destined to fail
as the bull reestablishes his authority and the price marches
upward. I continue to look for prices in the $83.64 to $91.73
range by January 2007 and a test of resistance at $100.21 by
late Spring (these are all spot prices).
COPPER - If there was one thing that led me to believe
that the bull market in commodities would live on, it was the
behavior of copper. There was some bend in copper but at no time
was there any break. Take a look at the Weekly Chart of copper
and you see what I mean:
Compared to the declines in
oil and gold, this was a walk in the park. The sideways action
has allowed copper to work off a good portion of its overbought
condition without doing any serious damage to the price. Unlike
gold and oil, copper has not even come close to testing the support
offered by the 50-wma. Recently the RSI has turned up and it
looks like the MACD is about to do the same thing.
For those of you interested
in the immediate future, the scenario is becoming increasingly
bullish. After bottoming at $291.45 in mid-June, we have since
registered two higher lows as well as two lower highs. The price
is slowly being compressed into a tighter range, and given the
fact that copper is in a bull market, this should produce an
upside explosion. Using the December 2006 copper futures contract
as an example, we will find resistance at $347.40, $352.60, $355.60,
and $362.40 as we claw our way up to the May 11th high of $380.00.
There is also important resistance at 354.50 from a trend line
and two consecutive closes above this will indicate that the
new move up is clearly underway.
GRAINS - Here is the surprise of the month and maybe
even the year. After months of disappointment and false promises,
we are finally seeing some upside progress in the grains, specifically
wheat and corn. Soybeans are still thinking about it but are
leaning toward the upside if nothing else.
Take a look at the Weekly Chart
for the Dow Jones Grains Spot Index and you will see the makings
of a bullish formation with a sequence of higher highs and higher
lows. This gradual increase has allowed the grain complex to
work off an overbought condition as it trends up. You'll note
that both the RSI and MACD turned up after the last low and we
now appear set to rally.
Specifically, wheat and corn
have broken out to the upside while soybeans show signs of accumulation.
Also, both corn and wheat have left unfilled gaps in their wake
while soybeans appear to be aiming to fill a large gap (5.85
to 5.95) left over from the trip down. Here are the numbers to
watch for the three crops:
Wheat is obviously the more
bullish of the three grains while soybeans are the laggard. Corn
is no slouch though with two unfilled gaps in its wake. It is
my belief that the grains are on their way up and I am looking
for new 260 day highs in corn and wheat before the end of the
year. The driver will be buying pressure from Asia.
CURRENCIES - Here's where we'll see the first
real indications of the serious problems we currently face. A
look at the Weekly Chart for the US Dollar Index shows an ominous
head-and-shoulders formation followed by several months of distribution:
Everything about this chart
is bearish with the exception of the fact that the dollar is
still considerably oversold. The bummer for the dollar bulls
is that we are working the oversold condition off with little
upside progress. The recent movement has been range bound from
84.00 on the low side to 86.00 on the high side and any subsequent
breakout will be significant to say the least. An upside breakout
at this stage of the game would more than likely be deflationary
while a downside movement would be an indication of a coming
inflationary spurt.
The cash US Dollar Index futures
contract rallied throughout 2005, topping out at 92.63 on December
28th of last year, and has since began a new leg down. The 83.60
low was registered on June 5th and was followed by an upside
reaction. Currently we see significant resistance at 85.62
and then again at 86.50. I would not be surprised
to see a close above 85.62 but a close above 86.50 would be cause
for thoughtful consideration. Support is at 85.08 and
83.50. Two consecutive closes below 83.50 would indicate
a test of the 80.50 low posted in late 2004 is
in the cards. Any close below 80.50 would mean that the dollar
is on its way to here-to-for unthinkable depths as it could trigger
an Asian exodus. I liken such an event to a herd of elephants
trying to escape through the eye of a needle.
My preference for fiat money
is limited to the inverse of the dollar which is the Swiss Franc
and I have been long the Franc, with out interruption, for more
than six years. I look at the Franc from two perspectives: an
insurance policy as well as an investment. With respect to insurance,
the Franc is the one currency the world will turn to if we have
a catastrophic event. During both the Madrid bombings and 9/11,
the Franc rallied fast and hard. As an investment, it's almost
as good as gold. Take a look at the historical chart for the
Franc:
You can plainly see that the
Franc has rallied with the best of them. I realize that its still
paper but I have to believe that over the long haul Switzerland
is always going to do what is in its own best interest and a
strong Franc, over time, is one of its best exports. Using the
December 2006 futures contract as an example, you'll note that
we've been range bound for weeks. Support is at .8000 while resistance
is .8231. I suspect that we'll break out to the upside before
the year is out and test further upside resistance at .8327 and
.8418 before breaking through the 260-day high at .8511. In conclusion,
everybody needs to have some paper money in their pocket and
my choice is the Franc. It has stood the test of time which can't
be said for the Euro. With respect to the Yen, I demure as the
Japanese spend too much time intervening and there are too many
floating around in the marketplace.
BONDS - This is the hardest call of all as you have
to choose between what your common sense tells you and what the
Fed will probably do. I invested in bonds for the first time
more than too years ago and I've probably done just about as
well as anyone and maybe better. Usually I did the inverse of
what seemed to be the correct course of action. Then about one
month ago I decided to exit the market and I've been on the sidelines
ever since. It's important to understand that bonds more than
any other market tend to move in very long term cycles, twenty
to thirty years is the norm. Bonds have been in a bull market
since the early 1980's but, in my opinion have topped out and
will now enter a bear market that will last a decade or two.
That means interest rates will rise in spite of what the Fed
wants or signals. Current Fed speak seems to indicate that the
tightening is over but that is just posturing for the November
elections.
Never loose sight that bond
sales are a function of two things: yield on the one hand and
supply/demand on the other hand. Right now there is way too much
supply and a lot more in the pipeline and way too little demand.
Once the elections are over, the Fed will magically discover
that inflationary pressures have somehow emerged in the economy
and will shift to a tightening policy. Yields will rise and bond
prices will fall. Meanwhile bonds should trade in a range with
a 114.11 ceiling and a 109.27 floor. There will be distortions
in the bond price though as foreigners try to exit their positions
preferring lesser risk and better quality. In an effort to keep
rates from skyrocketing, the Fed will resort to printing dollars
and buy its own debt back through the Caribbean Money Centers.
Such action will have more unintended consequences than even
I care to imagine and surely will prove to be self-destructive
over the long run. Sometime before the end of the year, I may
choose to sell the bonds short, but not just now.
DJIA -- I saved this for last because it is the most
complicated analysis. We have they Dow about to make new all-time
highs and that should be a very bullish event, but it's not.
What it is is dangerous and it's the markets way of sucking in
every last penny from every last widow and orphan out there just
before it hands them their collective heads. A lot of the problems
I see revolve around value, or better yet the lack of it. Here
you have a major index supposedly ready to launch a new bull
market with an astounding PER of 22 and a dividend yield below
2%. For any student of the markets, you'll recognize that these
numbers are representative of bull market highs and at no time
in history has a major move begun with such astronomical valuations.
This won't be the first either.
Let's begin by taking a look
at the historical chart for the DJIA and you'll easily recognize
the all time high posted back in January 2000 followed by the
first leg down into September of 2002. The bottom came in around
7,250. Since then we have seen an unprecedented liquidity induced
rally designed to fend off the bear and change the primary trend
of the market. That's something that has never happened before
and will not succeed here.
I would like to add that this
rally is becoming increasingly centered in the Dow 30 as other
major indexes fail to follow in its tracks. Take a look at the
Weekly Charts for the cash S & P and Transportation Index
provided below:

Although not shown, the S &
P is still well below its all-time high of 1,575 registered back
in March 2000. The Transportation Index is another story altogether
as it topped out five months ago and now appears to be undergoing
distribution. There are other indexes that appear to be undergoing
a similar distribution pattern including but not limited to banking
($BKX) and housing ($HGX).
In my opinion, the bear market
rally in the Dow is about to come to an abrupt end but I don't
doubt that we'll make a marginally higher all-time high first.
After all, it makes for good press and helps bolster the President's
claim that all is right with the world and the Republicans deserve
to stay in office. The cash S & P will not be so fortunate
however as it will encounter stiff resistance at 1,360.00 as
well as considerable difficulty time wise with the October 17th
date, plus or minus one day. The Transports have there own problems
with good resistance at 4,480.00 which has served to dampen a
number of rallies the last couple of weeks. I know I've harped
on this ad nausea but the non-confirmations that are so clearly
evident are telling us, better yet screaming at us, that the
DJIA is a sucker bet here. I do not believe the average investor
has any business being in the market, long or short, at this
time. Personally, I am short the December 2006 DJIA futures contract
from 11,650 and I will remain short unless the Transportation
Index can confirm the Dow's new high. I really don't see any
chance, so I'll just sit tight and wait for the inevitable.

it won't turn out well.

that Americans are willing to trade freedom for security is implied

17th is a significant cycle date for the Dow to make a major
top and then turn down into a sharp decline, and just three weeks
before the elections. What lousy timing if you are a sitting
President!
