If Global Alpha and Global Equity Opportunities had any kind of sub-prime or non-sub-prime mortgage losses (which I'm willing to bet they did), it would be a colossal joke.

 

Eating their own babies. :ph34r:

As I watch the dollar collapse I get that old Wiemar feeling, but bond yields rocketing higher again. So if we get Weimar, and bond yields go up with with it, stocks will not participate. It will be hard assets only.

Fears of dollar collapse as Saudis take fright

 

Saudi Arabia has refused to cut interest rates in lockstep with the US Federal Reserve for the first time, signalling that the oil-rich Gulf kingdom is preparing to break the dollar currency peg in a move that risks setting off a stampede out of the dollar across the Middle East.

 

The Saudi central bank said today that it would take "appropriate measures" to halt huge capital inflows into the country, but anal cysts say this policy is unsustainable and will inevitably lead to the collapse of the dollar peg.

 

There is now a growing danger that global investors will start to shun the US bond markets. The latest US government data on foreign holdings released this week show a collapse in purchases of US bonds from $97bn to just $19bn in July, with outright net sales of US Treasuries.

 

The danger is that this could now accelerate as the yield gap between the United States and the rest of the world narrows rapidly, leaving America starved of foreign capital flows needed to cover its current account deficit - expected to reach $850bn this year, or 6.5pc of GDP.

 

Jim Rogers, the commodity king and former partner of George Soros, said the Federal Reserve was playing with fire by cutting rates so aggressively at a time when the dollar was already under pressure.

So, are interest rates headed higher?
