Notice that I said “government in America,” not “the federal government.” The federal government has been pursuing what amount to contractionary policies as the last vestiges of the Obama stimulus fade out, but the big cuts have come at the state and local level. These state and local cuts have led to a sharp fall in both government employment and government spending on goods and services, exerting a powerful drag on the economy as a whole.

Something about lipstick on a pig. At least one of your links reinforces the facts in the AP article.

We're up [censored] creek without a paddle because if we decrease government spending, it's going to dramatically decrease GDP. That's what's happened in Europe. I don't know what the solution is; I'm just along for the ride while the poles figure it out.

If the dollar and the treasury market were such a problem, at least in the near short to medium term, Bill gross wouldn't be out saying this!

Bill has simply underestimated the power of Cartel and its numerous ammunition. As for so called world's last safe haven, it's a real save haven for one party only: the same Cartel. All others (countries, citizents) will have solely debts that they will have to repay. For the moment there are only two events that may change the balance: carnage on derivative market and refusal of oil & natural gas exporters to sell in Dollars. As for USTreasury Bond market and derivatives, a very interesting read from Jim Wille CB, though as usual: USTBond Tower of Babal Teeters

Surely the hyperinflation and government bond market collapse is right around the corner. Has been for about 50 years according to many people, me included!

We are living in historic times. The rest of 2012 into 2013 is going to be...interesting. Interest rates are breaking multi century lows all over the world.

I had an urge today. I held off from buying though.

That said, I did buy NEM and gold funds at and near the low over the last few weeks.

Buying the sale prices today/this week or waiting longer?

Think I'll buy more MCD today, especially if it opens lower. Dropped too far, IMHO.

Nice find! That had a very nice descending bullish chart leading up to the pop!

I've been looking over most of the picks you guy's have mentioned and they're all winners if traded technically and with prudence.

We're in an established descending trend channel now in the indexes, so even with some 2 or 3% pops, they bounce off the top channel. I think that's what today is again. Until I see capitulation reversal, I'm staying safe.

If the Fed comes out and says they'll do another major public move, PMs and equities should reverse nicely for a bit.

I parked in FSA for a bit and got out when I had 10%. That's about the best move I've had since this correction started.

Cripes, I already sold my ARNA.

I'm looking for DNDN to pop again.

After todays action it looks like yesterdays big rally was just an oversold/short covering rally. Be careful buying on pullbacks.
