    Default What happened today?!?!

    It sounds like the consumer confidence is pretty low - gas prices are expected to continue being high compared to the spike of last year - and the asian banks are giving a warning about the dollar's value.

    There have been some pretty major drops here and there - but we are pretty high on the tide too right now.

    But you all know my opinion of what is coming in our future.

    1. Bombastic day of violence in Iraq (see AP.)
    2. Gasoline will hold steady at right over $3 a gallon, most Americans polled said will curb vacation trips due to fuel prices....dip in tourist spot revenue
    3. Local elections coming up. Voters seem primed for incumbent dumps.
    4. Iran, still giving the finger to the world.
    5 OH, don't forget the Gulf Coast is still in disarray w/ a new hurricane season starting....caution there.

    the Japanese yen 'carry trade' is coming to an end ... which portends rapidly rising interest rates worldwide ... thus a rapid decline in the US$ exchange rate ... thus rapidly rising US$ oil/gas prices as well as rising US$ prices for imported manufactured goods sold in the USA ... which is spooking US consumers ... which is now also spooking foreign investors to seriously sell off their US stock and bond holdings to avoid further exchange rate losses in terms of their 'home' currencies.

    I've been posting this sort of stuff for the last couple of months.
