Iper-inflation vs deflation, my take

Today I have solved, at least inside myself, the dilemma iper-inflation vs deflation.

Iper-inflation is the building of a lie out of control (debt and entitlements into the system), it feeds on itself and like a lie it brings to more lies to cover up and to mislead from the inconvenient truth (i.e. that the system does not support all its debt and entitlements).

But eventually, the truth is inevitable (it can take years), but the reality cannot be escaped, the system has to reset and the reset mechanism can be pure deflation or induced deflation by war.

The meaning of Trader

Today I have connected two dots.

The words trader and traitor have the same latin root, "tradere" or "to offer".

Have you ever noticed that, the market is the perfect traitor, perfectly able to mislead, change direction, betray expectations, exactly when those same expectations arise to consciusness in the trader?

Mission accomplished: the rockets have been propelled to escape velocity

Last night 31.12.12 closing print propelled all 4 major US markets (SPX, DJIA, RUT and NDX), above their 2007 peaks (for SPX, DIJA and RUT, that means also above their previous all-time high), by such a margin that a minimum fib retracement (23.6%), would still be above their previous peaks.

Will the central planners at the FED allow for some weakness now that they might think escape velocity has been achieved?
