But the bottom line is this: the era of American hegemony is over as surely as the Communist Empire fell on the day the Berlin Wall was torn down. And as the period of American hegemony brought great benefits to Wall Street, the dollar, and U.S. debt instruments, the downfall of American hegemony will bring just the opposite. Investment monies will flow out of the United States. The dollar will have to compete with other foreign currencies. America will be hard-pressed to fight foreign wars, as in Kuwait and Serbia, while counting on European cooperation and goodwill. The Dow Jones averages should fall. U.S. interest rates will have to rise to prop up the sagging dollar. And great structural changes will have to be made within the American system as the country will no longer be able to export its inflation to other countries. MORE>>

Foreign central banks are shifting into overdrive on their holdings of US debt last week, as evidenced by their balances at the Fed increasing by $9 billion to a new record. Hahaha! Dorks!

Because the US is presently involved in two military actions, is contemplating others, and has no plans to withdraw from any of the present actions soon, we are headed directly into the “Typhoon of Triple Deficits.” The price we are going to pay for this course of action will be excruciating. Gold is your insurance and I advise you to stop finding reasons why gold will not better $400 because it will happen sooner than you think. Looking at today’s action in gold, all I can say is that you will have $400 behind you quite soon. MORE>>
