I read many online blogs and commentaries and this one is by far the most insightful. “bulls eye” on what’s going on. It addresses the strategies from a psych ops perspective of how the deceit is done by the wealthy to take advantage of the less aware/ unfortunate. It’s the lables that are put in quotes that distort our interpretation of reality and it’s nice to see that this is exposed with this passage or reading. I look forward to reading this blog and related articles and have bookmarked it. My sentiments / intentions and research are absolutely aligned with this type of thinking. God Bless you for serving mankind and knowledge is power, one can make the right decisions to protect themselves and safeguard their families. I’m a natural health practitioner and precious metals broker only after having been taken advantage by monied interest on both fronts and learning the hard knox way that we are all being taken advantage of and suffered the same fate in two of the most important factors of ones happiness in life, having your independence with good health and weatlh.

I'm not sure if we've that long to wait for the "final" bust - look at that iceberg rapidly approaching: Of Mortgage Brokers, ARMs, Attrition and Marathons

The bust may not happen for a long time. Another issue is what busts first, the $ or stocks.
The central banks have avoided pain for a long time, and they continue to avoid pain.
Suppose that the buying power of the $ and the euro and whatever other fiat currency you wish to include drops by a factor of 5. In that case, even if the Dow goes to 35000, it is really only equivalent to 7000 when you factor in the currency.
Those companies with heavy short term debt issues will have less debt carrying costs as long as interest rates are low. This will lead to increased earnings (and bonuses no doubt), but should interest rates rise, then earnings will take a hit and the market in general will take a hit, so for those in debt, a double whammy.
For now though, the US can print as it wants. It is analagous to the drug dealer having limitless supplies of free drug to distribute. China has a difficult situation because it holds so much of this currency and needs to divest, but this takes time.
So the stock markets may just be anticipating that it will take years and some serious decrease in $ buying power before the US loses it’s reserve currency status and becomes forced to deal with it’s deficits.
The timing of when major corrections will occur eludes me.

I appreciated your comments back in July or so on the 134 billion dollars in bonds siesed by the Italian financial police.

I too feel that their is more to this than meets the very limited media releases. Here is the latest up date:

There seems big differences between first reports and present report and the length of time it took to get from “alledged forgery” to “completely obvious forgery”, which reinforces in my conspiritorial mind the possibility of replacing the evidence for cameras and press with a stock of rubbish siesed in the Philippines back in the 70’s, and then conveniently loosing some of the “prisoners”!

Still it is a fascinating story
