“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.
