Mario Draghi Just Ruined the Fun: He Just Hinted at Raising Rates Before the End of QE

Talk about convoluted policy. Hiking rates while at the same time doing QE is like stabbing yourself while taking a blood transfusion. This is sheer perversion of economics and I hope he is punished in the after life for it.

As a result of his comments, European stocks sold off and we’re giving back a lot of gains.

The euro is flying v the dollar, up 0.75% and crude is now off by 0.7%.

More fuckery. I’m still 100% cash.

        Physical gold is worthless. Only paper gold is worth something.

          I have both physical and paper gold. I feel they are in dead heat for worst. a) manipulation b) registration requirements.

          The miners, however, can create a lot of wealth. All very odd eh?

    March is starting out frosty….. look for a decent injection figure next week.

    Natty …like the probabilities of hitting 3.20 by the end of injection season and then 3.50 for the June time frame……. the gap from the start of the year may be a bit of a reach at this point. Next winter yes but at this point I don’t see it.
