DG - Dow & Footsie Rally Lightens Mood
Dow & Footsie Rally Lightens Mood
Commodities
The CRB Commodities Index, shaken by the prospect of falling demand from China, is undergoing a secondary correction. Respect of the declining trendline would indicate a further down-swing, signaling weakness for resources stocks — confirmed if short-term support at 253 is broken. Breakout above the trendline, however, would suggest that the correction is over; short duration indicating a strong primary up-trend.
USA
Dow Jones Industrial Average
The Dow completed a bear trap after a marginal break through support (9200) reversed above resistance at 9400. Short duration of the correction indicates a strong up-trend. Expect a test of the upper trend channel, with a target of 10000*. Reversal below 9400 is unlikely, but would indicate a bullish broadening (or megaphone) wedge formation. The primary advance is confirmed by the S&P500 and Dow Transport Index.
* Target calculation: 9000 + ( 9000 - 8000 ) = 10000

DG - The Greenback Effect : Warren Buffett
IN nature, every action has consequences, a phenomenon called the
butterfly effect. These consequences, moreover, are not necessarily
proportional. For example, doubling the carbon dioxide we belch into
the atmosphere may far more than double the subsequent problems for
society. Realizing this, the world properly worries about greenhouse
emissions.
The butterfly effect reaches into the financial world as well. Here,
the United States is spewing a potentially damaging substance into our
economy — greenback emissions.
To be sure, we’ve been doing this for a reason I resoundingly applaud.
Last fall, our financial system stood on the brink of a collapse that
threatened a depression. The crisis required our government to display
wisdom, courage and decisiveness. Fortunately, the Federal Reserve and
key economic officials in both the Bush and Obama administrations
responded more than ably to the need.
They made mistakes, of course. How could it have been otherwise when
supposedly indestructible pillars of our economic structure were
tumbling all around them? A meltdown, though, was avoided, with a
gusher of federal money playing an essential role in the rescue.
The United States economy is now out of the emergency room and appears
to be on a slow path to recovery. But enormous dosages of monetary
medicine continue to be administered and, before long, we will need to
deal with their side effects. For now, most of those effects are
invisible and could indeed remain latent for a long time. Still, their
threat may be as ominous as that posed by the financial crisis itself.
To understand this threat, we need to look at where we stand
historically. If we leave aside the war-impacted years of 1942 to
1946, the largest annual deficit the United States has incurred since
1920 was 6 percent of gross domestic product. This fiscal year,
though, the deficit will rise to about 13 percent of G.D.P., more than
twice the non-wartime record. In dollars, that equates to a staggering
$1.8 trillion. Fiscally, we are in uncharted territory.
Because of this gigantic deficit, our country’s “net debt” (that is,
the amount held publicly) is mushrooming. During this fiscal year, it
will increase more than one percentage point per month, climbing to
about 56 percent of G.D.P. from 41 percent. Admittedly, other
countries, like Japan and Italy, have far higher ratios and no one can
know the precise level of net debt to G.D.P. at which the United
States will lose its reputation for financial integrity. But a few
more years like this one and we will find out.
An increase in federal debt can be financed in three ways: borrowing
from foreigners, borrowing from our own citizens or, through a
roundabout process, printing money. Let’s look at the prospects for
each individually — and in combination.
The current account deficit — dollars that we force-feed to the rest
of the world and that must then be invested — will be $400 billion or
so this year. Assume, in a relatively benign scenario, that all of
this is directed by the recipients — China leads the list — to
purchases of United States debt. Never mind that this all-Treasuries
allocation is no sure thing: some countries may decide that purchasing
American stocks, real estate or entire companies makes more sense than
soaking up dollar-denominated bonds. Rumblings to that effect have
recently increased.
Then take the second element of the scenario — borrowing from our own
citizens. Assume that Americans save $500 billion, far above what
they’ve saved recently but perhaps consistent with the changing
national mood. Finally, assume that these citizens opt to put all
their savings into United States Treasuries (partly through
intermediaries like banks).
Even with these heroic assumptions, the Treasury will be obliged to
find another $900 billion to finance the remainder of the $1.8
trillion of debt it is issuing. Washington’s printing presses will
need to work overtime.
Slowing them down will require extraordinary political will. With
government expenditures now running 185 percent of receipts, truly
major changes in both taxes and outlays will be required. A revived
economy can’t come close to bridging that sort of gap.
Legislators will correctly perceive that either raising taxes or
cutting expenditures will threaten their re-election. To avoid this
fate, they can opt for high rates of inflation, which never require a
recorded vote and cannot be attributed to a specific action that any
elected official takes. In fact, John Maynard Keynes long ago laid out
a road map for political survival amid an economic disaster of just
this sort: “By a continuing process of inflation, governments can
confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth
of their citizens.... The process engages all the hidden forces of
economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which
not one man in a million is able to diagnose.”
I want to emphasize that there is nothing evil or destructive in an
increase in debt that is proportional to an increase in income or
assets. As the resources of individuals, corporations and countries
grow, each can handle more debt. The United States remains by far the
most prosperous country on earth, and its debt-carrying capacity will
grow in the future just as it has in the past.
But it was a wise man who said, “All I want to know is where I’m going
to die so I’ll never go there.” We don’t want our country to evolve
into the banana-republic economy described by Keynes.
Our immediate problem is to get our country back on its feet and
flourishing — “whatever it takes” still makes sense. Once recovery is
gained, however, Congress must end the rise in the debt-to-G.D.
ratio and keep our growth in obligations in line with our growth in
resources.
Unchecked carbon emissions will likely cause icebergs to melt.
Unchecked greenback emissions will certainly cause the purchasing
power of currency to melt. The dollar’s destiny lies with Congress.
