Yes, I agree. This is a time for quandary. Deflation has not quite taken hold...that's why gold is holding and so is the red metal. Once it does....LOOK OUT BELOW. We'll be back to 2008....after all, we've had a 5 year "run".
As soon as the Fed has threatened to withdraw part of the cash, the emerging countries that were advantaged by the easy US money of the last years are now starting to show all the limits of their growth.
dream on. sorry, US cant afford to withdraw cash. reason is china will step on stage and increase global influence on expense of US. It is well played chess game by chinese. maybe americans need better chess players. losing across the board.
