The Dollar Is Losing Ground . . .
The news isn't a surprise to our readers . . . We've been discussing the debasement of the dollar for quite some time now. What does surprise me though, is the fact that it's being talked about openly. [
Read Article]
One option to support the dollar would be an increase in interest rates. Did you see that the dollar declined after the Fed declined to increased interest rates? [
Read Article]. The article makes an important point in stating that the dollar "fell to a three-week low on expectations Europe may raise interest rates faster than the U.S." Catch that? The euro is rising in relation to the dollar since it's believed the euro bankers will raise rates faster than the Fed. Important point.
In our opinion, barring the further debasement of the currency by the inflation of the money supply, a rise in interest rates will likely occur to rally the sagging dollar. This will increase the ARM mortgage rates for homeowner having those, signaling trouble in real estate for families.
Stay tuned for more opinion and analysis.

Inflation Rising? No surprise here . . .
We've been telling our readers over and over again that any talk of low inflation is erroneous. The new inflation figures
just released offer a small glipse of what awaits.
A possible solution to a declining dollar will be higher interest rates, which wouldn't bode well for a situation in which the economy is already slowing. A slowing economy is hinted at in the article with manufacturing slowing.
We consider oil prices highly politicized and so we don't spend much time worrying about the price of oil rising or falling a couple dollars here or there. The long-term trend is of greater concern. As a non-renewable, ever-depleing resource, we believe that a rise in prices in a macro view is inevitable.
Stay tuned for more opinion and commentary.

Iceland Rocks!! I'm not referring to the actual volcanic rock in the middle of the North Atlantic. I'm referring to the cutting edge use of renewable energy.
[Read article]Their use of hydropower should be an inspiration to all people and if similar technologies were developed and acted on in other countries the worst effects of Peak Oil might be lessened if not avoided.
Read the article and be inspired by what can be done when sufficient will is present.

Now this is just funny . . .
Drivers are deliberately running out of gas and waiting for assistance vehicles to give them free fuel. Since there's no free lunch, it's you and I who are paying for the gas.
[Read article]With Peak Oil still a couple years away, in my opinion, we are witnessing what will happen in mass as not only gas prices begin to rise through the $4 / $5 per gallon barriers, but also when there are fuel shortages from lack of petroleum.
Take care. J. Warren Thomas.
