    You can only get so much gas mileage out of a turnip.

    But not the market, too much inflation around.

    So a stronger dollar increases inflation? We need a stronger dollar and interest rates at a sensible level, forcing people to play the markets to finance their retirement isn't the way to go. Lower prices on commodities, gas, food and imports will make things better for all. The transition to normality will not come easy but is the only way to go.

    Are you ignoring the Fed printing of trillions of dollars?

    Day to day strength does not a stronger dollar make. A stronger dollar is based on a strong economy, and continued strong growth.

    Don't get me wrong, I agree with your basis of a strong dollar. What I don't agree with is that our dollar is strong... maybe today, but maybe not tomorrow.

    BTW, our dollar is only strong compared to other currencies because we haven't debased our currency AS MUCH, and we still have the biggest economy. Oh, and there is some trust and faith in the US in there somewhere.

    The FED is the reason we have lost buying power, every month 85 billion dollars, they areforcing the dollar down because they want us to be able to compete with overseas and stimulate exports, it's NOT working. I think it's the worst thing we have done.

    I've had to constantly remind myself so that I don't go insane: at it's root, the supply/demand for metals, crude, grains, etc. is indirectly (DIRECTLY, in some cases) controlled by governments/organizations via subsidies and/or production caps - which, of course, manipulates supply, which manipulates price. The market speculation behavior piece seems to simply be traders in the pits watching in real-time and anticipating the effects based on expected (historical) outcomes - and reacting accordingly. That leaves you and me to then react to THEIR reaction to this scenario, because we too have a significant (to us, albeit a quite limited) hand to "play" ourselves as the end-users of these things. Our "free markets" really aren't so free ...

    I was thinking the other day: when was the last time I felt SHOCK over paying this much for gasoline, since it first spiked ~5 years ago? We're frogs in a big pot of water, I tell ya.
