COMMENT: Marty, you called for a pop in the Euro and I then see a slight pop in gold and decline in the Dow. Everything really is connected. Thank you so much for opening my eyes. REPLY: Yes. You are seeing the world for what it really is. Everything is connected and nothing moves in […]

From the broader perspective, a corrective process in equities will send the residual cash into bonds and this may help create the final bubble top in interest rate markets.
