How can a bailout be inflationary? This will lower the bond yield and that would be deflationary, not inflationary (???). Also, any negative impact of Hurricane Ike on the oil rigs will push the oil prices up and, that my friend, will push the dollar down, not up (???).
Lower the bond yield? Not so sure about that. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aan2qwx6A.0E&refer=home
I'm not looking through this thread to see if this has been posted, but here's Ritholtz, w/Kass comment two down. http://bigpicture.typepad.com/comments/2008/09/gse-takeover-ov.html
More money being printed is inflationary. If you need more info than that read some high school economics books.
WOW futures and oil already up big since I posted putting cash to work 1/3 C, 1/3 index calls,1/3 USO - no way I can commit with that big of a gap. Tomorrow could be a 400 pt DOW day - If I get morning pullback to under 170 - 150 I'll go all in otherwise smaller trade. I'll wait til 11 for a pullback and see how she goes.
The bailout is DE-flationary. The fed can print money, the fed CAN'T spend it! And it CAN'T force banks to lend or business and consumers to borrow. Just like the billions pumped through the window. Where did it go? Oh shit, I forgot, we had better than 3% growth last quarter. Im wrong. Sorry. Osorico
