I am out of town, and will be for most of the week. I will do my best to give you briefings and updates when I get a chance.
I find it interesting that oil prices spiked on Thursday and Friday, at the exact same time the Bilderberg Group began their meetings in Chantilly, Va., at the Westfields Marriott.
You'll have to do your own research on the interworkings of this group on your own since their is a media blackout here in the US. The Canadian press and others have reported these meetings to their citizens, but the controlled US press has kept you in the dark.
If you watch Lou Dobbs on CNN, he has spoke extensively about- the North American Union- Open Borders- NAFTA- Immigration, and a new North American Currency, the Amero. These are all inventions of the Bilderberger's. This is the same group that came up with the European Union, and Europe's new currency- the Euro.

The Week in Review:
Don't let anyone kid you, consumers are hurting, and they are in bad shape.
We were in Ft. Myers, Florida for the weekend, and several drivers heading south on I-75 were driving with their windows down instead of using their AC's. The temperature was 94 degrees.
$4.00 per gallon gas is killing consumers, and truckers have are being decimated. Businesses inn and around Florida are folding up like tents, and vacant real estate residential-condos-commercial are everywhere.
Don't be fooled by the morons on TV that keep telling you the US is not in recession. They are dead wrong.
Oil prices should pull back sharply as we head into the election. The Bush administration will temporarily postpone new oil purchases for the Strategic Petroleum Reserves in July. This should provide some relief for oil prices as we head into the election.
As oil prices pullback, the stock market will rally. We will use this rally to make adjustments to the DG portfolios.
After the election, and into 2009, I believe interest rates must rise to protect the dollar, and drive oil and commodities and inflation down. This is not good news for the real estate markets, but for those looking to buy, it will be a great entry point.
Many on the financial channels keep telling us that today's economy is not like the 1970's. It sure looks like the 70's to me. In fact, it maybe worse!
For the week:
-Gold closed at $899.00/oz +7.50 for the week. Last week gold closed at $891.50, and was trading at $925.80 two weeks ago.
-The Commodities CRB Index closed at 441.51, up from 422.17 last week, and up from 431.09 two weeks ago.
-Crude Oil closed at $138.54/bbl up from $127.35 last week, and up from $132.19 two weeks ago..
We need to see $75-$85/ barrel oil in the weeks ahead to get the economy back on track. Oil has remained above $100 for the thirteenth consecutive week.
-The U.S. Dollar closed at 72.38down from 72.86 last week, and up from 71.96 two weeks ago.
Some believe the rate cuts have come to an end, and the dollar is attempting to rally. A strong rally in the dollar will help drive energy prices lower.
