l am a bear but the upside is inevitable as the US dollar is in serious trouble.
Look at the charts on the US dollar and S&P 500 on the same time frame, it’s like a mirror.

Hi Surly Trader
This upward move on the indices will end badly, the more the government and banking institutions intervene the larger the drop will be.
Eventually the dollar will bottom out but still has further to go at this time.
When it bottoms out, watch out below for the indices, this will probably be the steepest ride down we have ever seen. Sept 08 and Feb 09 will be nothing at the side of this next drop. Printing more money is not the answer, they should have let it go in 2003 and started again, today we would have had something to build on but now it’s too late.
Just my opinion
