"The IMF's authoritative Currency Composition of Official Foreign Exchange Reserves (COFER) report last week indicated that the dollar's share of global reserves (where the allocation is reported) rose to 65%, to stand at its highest since 2007. "

>>After all, this entire 2 year credit bailout effort is nothing more than a theory about how to get credit flowing again and via what credit transmission system.<<

i could not disagree more.

this is nothing more than the looting of the american tax payer so that important people who bribe government officials don't have to eat their losses like the rest of us.

they knew d*mn well they wouldn't lend in this environment - only a fool would do that en masse.

that was the cover story for the theft.

pure and simple.

Vi,

read through this whole article and do everything you can to avoid the visceral response (since it will disagree with your view).

investorsinsight.com 

right or wrong, i think this is the perception being leaned on by the financial community. it is why silver is tanking relative to the S&P and gold is staying flat with the S&P.

since i think the S&P goes down, i think gold goes down, too.

right or wrong has no bearing on where the markets go, just the *perception* of the participants.

edit - added this link, too.

"After all, this entire 2 year credit bailout effort is nothing more than a theory about how to get credit flowing again and via what credit transmission system. They thought that by covering the bank's hole, that this would allow them to shovel out money."

It's all theory; the only thing that anyone "knows" is that others who think differently are wrong.

Your suggestion has been made by many others as a straightforward way to perform the required economic adjustment. Clean and simple: that guarantees non-acceptance.

Unless, of course, 95% of the money went to the elites who put the nation in this terrible predicament. That would guarantee the idea's speedy execution.

Todays numbers are again, different and didn´t really fit the picture.

While things look as if they want to bounce (and the DX in acute danger to look below 80... out come Germany and European consumer confidence numbers with a very large miss plus poor industrial production.

Rationalisation in the market though, is very slow. Normally the EUR would have crashed (and last year, it did so).

I guess, it reads, go with the program: Bonds down, stocks up. Bonds didn´t recover either, after numbers.

Well, a fellow trader mused: "Bad numbers, uh, eh. I didn´t even notice. No one noticed. Go with the program! (and the program is GS)"

After a few minutes a quaint explanation comes up:

"You see, half the continent is on holidays. Those who can afford are on the beaches. The poor sobs who have no money and have to stay at home have skewed downwards the survey results, bingo!".

And then, this means with Trichet not fighting the fed anymore as everyone learns to live with DX80 there´s nothing to trade.
And yes, GS is indicated at 152 and counting.

The USD love affair with 80 is about over. It is Act III. You can draw an upper down trend line from the March highs and along the April highs and end up where we are now. The March and June lows make a parallel lower downtrend line. The dollar is trying to squiggle sideways through resistance to escape the down channel.

I think hoisington makes good points...but another factor is value of dollar, if the dollar declines gold and silver go up, even if hoisington is correct on all other points...investors will buy tangible assets as protection against declining currency.
