Participant“but Mr Bernanke will put a stop to that”
by this comment I assume you mean that he will buy US Treasuries all along the curve in order to suppress both short and long-term interest rates – how else can he stop rates from rising?
in order to buy US Treasuries the Fed is already engaging in “quantitative easing” (which is just the latest mind-fuck for printing fiat currency as fast as possible) and you are proposing that they will increase these efforts
“Only in extremis will it proceed to the next step, where these exporters feel the future value of the dollar is so unreliable that they will not accept ANY AMOUNT of future dollars in exchange for a real good today.”
so how much “quantitative easing” can the Fed perform before we reach the “extremis” state?

ParticipantA buddy of mine was telling me you can pick up an RPG for $125 in Peshawar. AKs are going for $75 and you can find a “gently used” RPD light machine gun for about $200.

ParticipantIf the market takes another dive, treasuries will probably be in demand again. And so it goes. This will also support the US$ quite well.
There’s not many choices out there because of the huge volume of funds that need to find a home when the storm comes thundering back into town. Not to mention the amount currently held by other nations.It will be interesting to see if this event becomes supportive for gold. I think it will this time around becuase gold likes uncertainty and it’s looking like the world is considering gold more like money at this time rather than a commodity.
