GS news just about the only thing that could have derailed the rally - remains to be seen how far the market falls but helping the ratio with vix up over 12%

Ginger, yes indeed. This ratio was broken with a vengeance as VIX moves deeper into "complacency" levels.

interesting article in cnbc today saying that the so called "boom" in retail sales in US is mainly due to consumers spending the remainder of their cash in the malls rather than paying their mortgages before foreclosure ultimately is enforced. JP Morgan's good results were again on the back of trading - i.e. casino operations. Their retail operations were a drag due to the consumer.

rim, i dont think 2-3% revaluation will have the effect that many are expecting i.e. rising commodities rising yen. at least not right away. This is not 2005 when other factors helped drivve up commods OTHER than the reval. people have to be sure about their causality.

i do see higher commods as a long term multi year play; although Prechter thinks otherwise.

Yes there is. Kitco's Jim Willie, a USD perma bear, writes interesting thesis on how UST yields are capped ( artificially) with interest rate swaps. I consider to give his Hat Trick Letter a try.

As all eyes are on Greece for now could we be about to learn of a much bigger problem elsewhere soon? Are we not now set-up perfectly for a black swan event? Interesting times...next couple of weeks I expect limited gains but potential for a sizeable sell-off followed by further sell-offs in the Summer.

Dear Ashraf,

How do you evaluate the news on Yuan revaluation around %3 ?
