Mr.Mortgage predicts two bottoms…

I doubt very much that China, the PRC, wants a currency stronger than the US$. They’re in a very big pickle. They’ve gone to extreme leverage for productive growth and no one is now buying what they produce. A stronger yuan would only increase their problems. This is trouble in a very big way for them. What are they now going to do with all these people that worked in factories? Back to the farm? Maybe, if they want to keep eating.

I am still puzzled why you think inflation cannot be achieved.[/quote]

You must have me confused with someone else because I’ve been predicting all along that the Fed and Obama have created future inflation throughout the economy. In fact, we are already seeing the early signs of inflation. Bernanke is doing everything he can to stop the deflationary cycle with his “quantitative easing” policy, as has the federal government. Record low interest rates, combined with FHA loans, loan modifications, etc,,,have created a mini flurry of activity which has inflated the price of housing in many of the bubble states. Oil prices are trending upward, as is the price of food.

The key is interest rates…if rates continue to spike it will put the brakes on the Fed’s hopes of ending the foreclosure crisis. At this point Bernanke can continue purchasing securities, but each time he does so, it creates even more potential for hyper inflation down the road. And as we now can see, Wall St. is getting extremely concerned about future inflation because they know that inflation will result in higher mortgage rates, which will then put a severe damper on the housing recovery at a time when unemployment continues to go higher. Basically, the Federal Reserve is in a catch 22 situation.
