Session Time: Tue Apr 26 00:00:00 2011
[08:44] {Threei} someone get me over Friday already - I can't stand this "royal wedding" coverage everywhere
[08:44] {nemo} maybe she'll have a car accident in a tunnel
[08:44] {Threei} janitor frowns
[08:44] {nemo} record for me...first comment
[08:44] {Threei} lol
[08:45] {Threei} moving up in the world, aren't you {G}
[08:45] {nemo} which is going to the gutter for the most
[09:00] {Threei} *(US) FEB S&P/CASESHILLER 20 CITY M/M: -0.18% V -0.4%E; Y/Y: -3.33% V -3.3%E
[09:01] {nemo} http://ftalphaville.ft.com/blog/2011/04/26/553231/grantham-comes-face-to-face-with-a-paradigm-shift/
[09:03] {Threei} looks wrong to me
[09:04] {nemo} why
[09:04] {Threei} he attributes rise in price to population growth
[09:04] {nemo} not exactly, the industrialization of those populations
[09:04] {Threei} and demand growth coming from it
[09:04] {Threei} yes
[09:05] {Threei} real picture though should include printing of fiat currencies, particularly USD
[09:05] {Threei} good article to see what's coming next for the markets when Fed finally runs out of gas: http://tiny.cc/0pk73
[09:05] {nemo} His comment about the Hydrocarbon revolution has always been my thesis
[09:05] {Threei} incidentally, this same article shows the real reason for these sklyrocketing prices
[09:06] {Threei} maybe it's a perfect storm,
[09:06] {Threei} and his thesis just coincides with Ben's destruction, multiplying the effect
[09:06] {Threei} this I can ceoncede
[09:06] {Threei} concede
[09:07] {Threei} but without taking helicopter ben into consideration, this "supply and demand" theory is seriously incomplete wen it comesto comodities and currency
[09:07] {nemo} yes...Before the last century heat was produced through burning of wood or coal primarily...Oil was the most energy efficient and transportable form of energy in history
[09:09] {nemo} Economic logistics have been built around the cheap energy paradigm
[09:09] {nemo} the spigot isn't getting bigger, and demand from China and India is rising pretty significantly
[09:09] {nemo} More cars were sold in China last year than the US

[09:23] {Threei} (US) US Treasury Sec Geithner: Strong dollar is in US interest
[09:23] {Threei} - US will never engage in a strategy to drive the USD lower for trade advantage
[09:23] {Threei} - Confident that the Fed will manage inflation effectively
[09:23] {Threei} - Can give Congress until end of June on the debt limit; Congress will pass the debt limit increase
[09:23] {Threei} - US confidence must be earned
[09:23] {Threei} **Reminder: ECB Trichet commented earlier today that he shares US view that a strong USD is in its best interest.
