Japan Is Losing The Race-To-Debase
While some of the smartest chaps on the street suggest that being long of Gold in cowbell terms is the trade of the decade, it appears the winner off the March 2009 lows remains long of Gold in plain-old USD terms. Gold in USD terms has risen 84.5% from the 2009 equity lows and leads the race-to-debase while JPY (until very recently) was the big loser among the majors - debasing itself a mere 52%.

Golden Cowbells? Sweet retail Christmas gift idea!
Silver Bells is my favorite.
Chairsatan rules.
Japan needs to buy more UST.
yes, print more yen to buy ust.
since the Japanese were (at least in recent memory) pioneers in unlimited central bank bailout/propping it would make sense that they would also be first in ending it.
Our Treasury secretary proposes no debt limit. No budget. A signal for everyone that we are on a path to infinite debt and US dollar debasing.
In the meantime Fitch and Moody's goes along with the sham. The rating companies that brought you junk debt rated as AAA.
Yea where are bigmouth Fitch and Moody's ad S&P now? Last year at the 'debt ceiling crisis' they were yapping all day that unless a 'real meaningful resolution' was reached, then they'd have no choice but to slam ratings. Where are they now, spending their hush money?
All just a huge pile of BS.
Looking at what Uncle Sam tried to do to Egan Jones.they are keeping their
heads down, and waiting for the statute of limitations to run out on those AAA
ratings 'mistakes' on RMBS.Else bagHolder will go after them.
May as well be handcuffed.
do not worry, usa has gold as reserve.
Plenty of tungsten for all those electric filaments.
They have short little legs though.
Godzilla vs Bukkake Monster
In a sane world losing the debasement race would be a good thing.
We jumped the shark a long time ago. It's just that at first very few noticed.
It must really pucker a Central Planner's ass when the only thing left to debase against is Gold.
I love gold! To own it, but even more to trade it. Trading gold is a very good way to increase your income.
A shot at Gartman, perhaps?
