Australian Dollar (AUD): Clear Sailing For Much Higher Levels

It seems like its clear sailing for much higher levels in the Aussie dollar (AUD). In fact, the Canadian dollar (CAD) look like its in the process of putting in a bottom, the USDCAD putting in a high. So that`s an interesting market.

Market Volatility Is The Big Story

Market volatility is again the big story. Yesterday the markets were hammered again. Remember that we opened higher, sold off and closed near the lows. Dow went down around 160, Nasdaq down 50. So, another drubbing for the high P/E stocks.

The market did open higher again this morning which I think its a negative sign. I think we will sell off again.

Hedge Funds: They Are Like Ultra-Long Risk Funds

Over the last few years the interesting thing about hedge funds is that none of them are hedging. They are like ultra-long risk funds. Some of these funds were long/short, now they are long and longer. That is the attitude that the Federal Reserve has created.

A Real Collapse In Real Estate Prices

I do not look for a nominal collapse in real estate prices. But I do look for a real collapse, priced in gold, adjusted for inflation.

Now, if the Federal Reserve actually did what I don`t think its going to do, which is end QE and raise interest rates and unwind its balance sheet, then the stock market would collapse, the real estate market would collapse but that is why they are not going to do it.

What Is Going To Happen When the Fed Stops Supporting The Economy?

Low paying, part-time, temporary jobs. That is what we got. And is all we are going to get. That is the problem. We are not going to get the types of jobs we need, we are not going to get any improvement on the unemployment front.

And remember this is what the economy is doing with all the Fed`s help. Yes, they have tapered ever so slightly their QE program but the QE program is still here. Interest rates are still at zero and this is the best the economy can do.  So, ask yourself, what is going to happen if and when the Fed stops supporting the economy?
