When the Three Legged Horse Was King

“Dollar Bill,” the Three Legged Horse 

_______________________________

The formidable monster dollar days are as done as well oiled-Gulf cod, with a side of Pelican mashies.   The Euro may continue to break down and every paper currency in the universe could go the way of all tinder, but I do not think any of it will help our much abused dollar.

Nope, you see Bernanke caught that acrid whif of deflation over the last fortnight, and he knew exactly what he had to do.  And he did it — he opened lines of credit for crappy multinational and Euro banks to stabilise (sic) their burgeoning debt crisis.   He used our bucks to help sterilise (sic) bad Greek and Carpathian debt like it was mere Fannie Mae mortgages or something similar.

And what a time to do so — when the dollar was as healthy as a three legged horse in a horse amputee ward at the veterinarian hospital.   Heck, you might have even ridden that horse, were you forced too.

To the abbatoir.

So Bernanke saved all the legless horses in Europe with his three legged horse and guess what… the bill has come due and it’s stipulates right here in ten point Hellenic script: “more legs.”  

More legs down as the printing presses continue to fly and whirl and shuttlecock and do all things printing presses do whilst churning out fresh greenback, further diluting their wirth (sic) to one an all.   Note how in the weekly, we’ve got a two week breakdown in the works since our tumultous “third top” high back in early June….

As you can see $85.00 is my near term goal, and that should coincide with a nice spike in the overall markets (not just the PM’s though they should surely benefit too) after we work off the overbought high so adroitly noted in The PPT .   

You can see $85.00 makes sense on the daily as well:

$85 is very close to our 50-day EMA as well, which further reinforces that target as a resting point, if not a full rebound target.

What will happen as a result of this continuing dollar meander down?   I’m afraid that in the intermediate term, it’s bullish for the markets — even if only artificially so.   Luckily, one can better guard his well-earned profits by placing them in an operating company that measures its assets not in dollars, but in something more substantial.  

That’s correuct, “the precious” is just that substanital asset, and mining operators have that, and leverage too.

You know my favourites as they never fail to please… ANV, SLW, EGO, IAG, and PAAS for now.   Keep a firm hand on the best, and you will have ample “excess capital” to play with the rest, like the other evenings’ offerings (BAA and RBY).

Gun to my head best immediate picks :  TC, TCK, CREE, ANV and IAG.

Stay safe, my friends.

    As the greenback approaches said target, how high do you see the SPX getting?

      Christ Tea,

      My perception of you has just changed dramatically. I used to think you were kind of the artist type.

      I guess a picture is worth a thousand words or something like that.

    Is your idea to add to these now or wait for a little pull back consolidation?

    In case I’m not clear about what you are saying, it is that the dollar will weaken and precious metals and equities will move up. Is this correct?

      Glad to hear you approve of my new bearshitter gravatar …. does look a bit like me though I’m sporting my Irish roots with a dark brown though thinning coiffe and I’ve trimmed the beard down to a Cape Coddish lobstahman’s goatee for the summer.

      Yes, to be exact, my thoughts are we will consolidate this over bought condition, and then continue up as the dollar continues to fall.

    Jake,
    I agree with what you said to “pathetic” yesterday. We endured many accuations from demos., during bush admin., and it getting pretty deep at the white house now.

    Tommorrow’s tranny news: FDX forms morning star top to short-term up trend. Should get a couple more down days out of it.

      The only thing you will care about a month from now is who runs Bartertown.

      OK, sorry, couldn’t help myself.
