    Benjamin Roth: The Great Depression: A Diary
    It's all here, times change people don't -the endless govt programs that fail to stimulate the private sector -the ups and downs of the economy, the veterans pension stimulates just as the housing credit did, until of course the money runs out -Roth is a attorney in Youngstown Ohio who kept a diary regarding the economy from 1930 until WW II breaks out, he is objective, candid, and forthright which is more than we get from Washington DC now or then highly recommended

Low Volatility Dampens Sell Off

Monday August 14, Pre Market Open

The volatility of the markets is putting a damper on any big sell off.

The Russell 2000 and the Transports have fallen more than the INDU or the NASD 100. But all have put in some sort of at least temporary peak. Stock markets are up this morning around the world.

Bond prices  have been up, no clear pattern emerging there.

US Crude, WTIC, has failed to vault over $50 leaving the door open for a test of lower prices. We still expect an important low in price this fall.

Gold and silver seemed sidelined with only gold itself showing more strength than share prices or silver. That is not very bullish considering the still weak US Dollar.

Welcome to August!
