Comments on: The Trade of 2008: Crude Oil or Gold http://www.dailyreckoning.com.au/crude-oil-gold-2008/2008/01/18/ An independent perspective on the Australian and global investment markets Sat, 21 Nov 2009 10:39:45 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8 hourly 1 By: Gordon http://www.dailyreckoning.com.au/crude-oil-gold-2008/2008/01/18/comment-page-1/#comment-6159 Gordon Sun, 20 Jan 2008 13:35:08 +0000 http://www.dailyreckoning.com.au/crude-oil-gold-2008/2008/01/18/#comment-6159 I'm starting to wonder if Bernanke's plan is indeed to intentionally instill a sense of fear and unknown at this moment in time, and that the Fed's hands are tied.. Real fear that the US economy is up the spout will allow the price to come off oil in the short term, and maybe keep it down... This in turn allows the numero uno driver for inflation to run away for a while.. allowing further deep rate cuts without the ugly bear of stagflation popping his head out. Maybe Mr Ben isn't as stupid as he looks.. Keep people thinking you're stupid, and you can only surprise with intelligence.
