There she goes.

Everything is getting crushed.

The Dow is off over 170.

Commodities hammered across the board.

The NASDAQ is off 1.7%.

Only Green Mountain Coffee Roasters appears to be up.

Oil is below $103.

Even silver is tanking!

Yup. Once the government manipulators have settled in and done their work.

To me, this is good news. If the dollar is stronger, it would make everything cheaper: Stocks, silver, oil.

That's good.

Old habits die hard and everyone rushes to perceived safety when things become volatile.

I read that this morning. From the article:

“The basic idea is this: The Fed has been dumping roughly $4 billion of thin-air money into the US markets each trading day since November 2010. The markets, all of them, are higher than they would be without this money. $4 billion per trading day is an enormous amount of money. It’s gigantic by historical standards. As soon as the QE program ends, the markets will have to subsist on a lot less money and liquidity, and the result is almost perfectly predictable.

Hello, downdraft.

The markets are quite substantially elevated due to the efforts of the Fed. T, and then some, is quite likely to be rapidly eliminated as soon as the QE program has ended.

It’s really that simple.”
