HERE WE GO AGAIN : US FINANCIALS: FOOL'S RALLY !!!

Well until yesterday, led by a fall in Oil prices, the US Financial Sector rallied sharply from recent lows.
''''The credit crisis was over - Freddie Mac & Fannie Mae bailed out - and the housing market settling down''' .................UNTIL YESTERDAY.
As data from the US Housing sector continues to deteriorate, the banks may be set for a fresh round of writedowns.
An endless number of bailouts and low interest rates on the USD, are going to erode the purchasing power of the USD in the long run.
I wouldn't trust this rally, and would instead look at adding to gold positions on further declines in the precious metal.

Hey David,

This is pierre for bombay scottish. Really impressed by your blog. Seems like you do a heck of a lot of number crunching every day.

Keep up the great work.
