a look at FedSpeak and the market…

Highly recommend… I have been trying to figure out this stock market and this post provided some clarity…

FedSpeak Translation - There Is No Recovery

So why is the stock market up so much?

That is an overlaid chart (as close as I can easily get them to register) on the dollar and The S&P 500 from the March lows to today.

The rally in the market has exactly nothing to do with the economy and the outlook for it.� It is tied to one and only one thing - the decline in the dollar.��

A WEAKER, EVEN COLLAPSING, DOLLAR IS NOT COMMENSURATE WITH OR INDICATIVE OF A STRONGER ECONOMY.

Since March The Federal Reserve and Federal Government have in fact promulgated and prosecuted policies that do the exact opposite.� The stock market has responded not to forward economic prospects, as is often claimed, but rather to the “hot money” flows of foreign and domestic speculators and�a dollar-based carry trade engendered by The Fed’s zero-percent interest rates.

Bernanke, Geithner and the other stooges in our government and media are intentionally misleading you.
