The dollar showed weakness today as US equities ran the shorts on vaporous hopes of bailouts for the banks.
Notice though that Bucko has not broken any serious support levels so it is too soon to send flowers. So far this is a normal consolidation in a parabolic short squeeze and flight to safety.
We took profits on our long positions today, and went slightly net short when the SP 500 futures hit our intraday target of 866. This rally has a lot of air in it, but this is a light week, with the US markets closing for the Thanksgiving holiday on Thursday.
We are far from a recovery, and will likely go back down and test those lows again, but first things first, and we may see more rally in US stock indices up to the 62% retracement levels.
"The more power a government has the more it can act arbitrarily according to the whims and desires of the elite, and the more it will make war on others and murder its foreign and domestic subjects. Power will achieve its murderous potential. It simply waits for an excuse, an event of some sort, an assassination, a massacre in a neighboring country, an attempted coup, a famine, or a natural disaster, to justify the beginning of murder en masse."
