Why the Fed can’t put out the fire

[paramount]

Since last weekend and the Bear Sterns saga, the Fed began taking serious action.

We are now seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

Well, that’s basically what Cramer said tonight.

Lets get to the bottom of these deflation questions.

barnaby, JWM, 4plexowner – are you guys calling the top on gold at $1000 or not ?

Since my last question wasn’t answered, or maybe I didn’t ask it the right way, let me rephrase.

Is it possible or likely in a deflationary period for 1) prices in general to drop (cost of groceries, house, cars, etc – I know that some imports may not follow the trend), and 2) and at the same time the dollar becomes less valuable vs other currencies – that it’s relative value goes down.

I’m just trying to understand that the dollar and it’s purchasing power in the USA may not be intimately linked to it’s buying power abroad.

I’m a scientist, and not an economist, and so please forgive me for not always using the correct contextual words for economists.

I don’t make calls like that. Gold will probably crash with the market due to positions being unwound and start climbing again. I am not a gold buyer right now.
