I'm thinking of buying again. I may buy FPL, like I should have done about 3 years ago. They have lots of low carbon energy, and they have done very well lately. I think I'll put some of my retirement on it and spin the wheel. Whee!

Seriously, I have no idea whatsoever how the stock market is going to do, but it seems like most of the gambles I take work out pretty well.

USD is on a bit of a bull run right now - 2 week high, in fact.

Of course, this is exactly NOT what I would expect, especially seeing as future, short-term fed rate cuts are all but a given at this point.

Anyone got anything to add?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('roccman', '
')I have been reading that it needs to convincingly break through 82 during this run...if it does not...the trip back down is gonna be ugly...like low 70s upper 60s ugly.

IMO it has a long long way to go to get to 82.

hmmmmmmmm...a race to the exits?

Vietnam is planning to cut its purchases of US Treasuries and other dollar bonds, raising fears that Asian central banks with control over two thirds of the world's foreign reserves may soon join the flight from US assets.

Today the minutes to the last fed meeting came out. They showed the Fed had zero doubts about the rate cut and may not have any issue with more cuts.

Within minutes the Dow was on it's way to a new record and the dollar started dropping after over a week of recovery. Another .4 drop.

This halloween should be good and exciting.

Well if you want a scary costume for your kids for halloween, I would get to work on the Bernanke.

This policy mastermind recommends foreign central banks inflict periodic losses on dollar shorts, despite acknowledging nothing can stop the decline.

"At an opportune moment, they could make a sharp and powerful co-ordinated intervention in the currency markets to buy dollars. This surprise move would not change long-term trends, but it would show speculators that shorting the dollar is not always without consequence. The intervention could therefore bolster prospects for an orderly dollar decline and demonstrate that the US and the European Union are capable of jointly using powerful policy levers."

What a merry group! I like the Cheney/monkey idea and a couple can trail along dressed as Greespan and Bernake in the role of punch and judy type clowns. Idiot clowns who keep beating each other...

so today
oil is near record highs
the dow is near record highs
the SAP is near record highs
gold is near 25 year highs
the canadian dollar is worth almost 3% more then the US dollar
The US dollar is .5 away from it's all time low

All the talking heads want to talk about is Walmarts increased forecast and the next rate cut.

Haven't almost all of the past stock market crashes been preceded by periods of insane euphoric growth?

[roccman]

I think so.

Maybe Vincente Fox's declaration of the Amero being rolled out has startled the herd...

I think so.
