--so nothing happened; will it last?

What’s the consensus for investing in coal? I think it will resurge after Obama’s gone, if we get a real conservative Congress and a real conservative president. Comments?

It's ALL about the Dollar/Euro/Yen......

Since late 2008 and into 2009 central bankers around the world have been fighting a losing battle against "Deflation".

The only tool they have is the printing press/QE*, which is designed to create "inflation" in order to stop the deflationary cycle. In the short run they are not necessarily wrong since it is really the only thing they can do.

The QE* efforts of the U.S. have sent the U.S. stock market to record highs but the utter lack of real economic growth suggests there are other forces at work.

Deflation is a Bitch.

Nice wrap up of last week and start for the new one.

Thanks!

Size able layoffs in energy. The terrorist tom tom is on fire. Some body dropped a ton on shorts and lost their shorts. Metals and hard investments showing strength. Dollar very strong. EU QE is a big change. Anything can happen this week. I am watching CVX and COP to break 180 day lines down.
