The Illusion of U.S. Dollar Safety …There are good reasons to believe that
equities going lower may not empower the USD this month, especially
during the week that the U.S. Treasury goes cap-in-hand to the global
market with another record matching bond sale to raise more cash for the
over-drawn economy to get through another month of red-bill paying. The
January move to buy the dollar was turbocharged by news that Dubai
World was still struggling to revamp its debt obligations, and those long-
USD moves were then boosted by headlines that Greece was in danger of
defaulting on its government debt obligations. With gleeful joy, the media
pounced on the fact that other members of the Euro-zone were also likely
to be in the same situation, with Portugal, Italy/Ireland, Greece and Spain
making up a group-of-four/five that suddenly has the traded market’s
attention drawn to it. In that environment, and with lofty disregard for what
came before, buyers of the USD loaded the long side of their boat and
abandoned any thought process that the economy backing the largest
amount of fiscal deficit the world has ever seen could ever get into a
position that would be worse than that in front of them. Apparently, all is
well with U.S. debt, so long as someone else has debt issues too. USD
Safety a Myth The move to safety of USD-based Treasury debt empowered
the USD in January, but the reality check in regard to the implied NFP
employment situation will now not help back that move. The fickle market’s
attention will now have to be drawn to forward U.S. growth, as the Euro-
zone story grows old, and reality once again sets in. The drop in value by
the euro will have been welcomed by the single currency exporters, and
will now likely have U.S. administration attention drawn towards a USD that
is now verging on expensive in regard to servicing U.S. debt levels. The top
four U.S. states in the Fiscally Challenged Rankings would make the Greek
situation look something akin to a storm in a tea cup. The threat of
downgrades to U.S. debt are generally ignored - after all, the U.S. based
rating agencies know what side their bread is buttered, one would
assume…
Investors Should Find Better Returns Abroad President Obama's State of
the Union message over a week ago only served to reinforce my forecast
that investors will continue to find better returns in markets outside
America and in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Indeed, the reward
gap may well increase. Nothing in the President's speech indicated
willingness to do the hard work of cutting spending. Rather, he reiterated
his commitment to a costly new healthcare entitlement and more spending
on make-work programs. Only days later, his budget acknowledged that,
even before factoring in the cost of his proposals, the federal government
is unlikely to be in surplus for the foreseeable future. In response, Moody's
has issued a warning that the United States' triple-A credit rating is not
unassailable. In short, the trend set some ten years ago will continue. Since
1999, those who invested in U.S. stocks, as measured by the S&P Index,
have lost about half of their wealth, in real terms.[i] On the other hand,
those who invested abroad, measured by the Morgan Stanley Emerging
Market Index,[ii] [iii] have doubled their investments in real terms. This is
because capitalism is flourishing abroad, while being curtailed
progressively in so-called advanced economies, where the projected
aggregate growth rate for 2010 is now only some 2.5 percent. Somewhat
optimistically, this assumes no double dip recession…

Infowars.com | In America, circa 2010, the phrase bread and circuses has
become what passes for our national anthem. More Government
Equals Fewer Jobs With today’s unexpected decline in December
payrolls, the cry for more job-related stimulus will grow even louder.
But the sad truth is that any new stimulus or jobs bills will ultimately
swell the ranks of the unemployed, thereby raising calls for an even
bigger federal effort. Not Your Father’s Army
Tea Party Sarah is a Neocon Kurt Nimmo | Sarah Palin is a thinly disguised

mean, come on! She’s so incredibly, and embarrassingly dumb! She is

press the button if there was anyone so foolish to do so.
