- Hot money flows back into emerging markets, destabilizing them AGAIN.
- Weaker dollar?
- Rising precious metals?
- Stock market? Technically ready for a major correction, but all that new money...
- Bonds? Fed will keep trying to force long rates down. Will they succeed?

- Elements of Moral Hazard and Unintended
- Currency Wars Return - Now "Risk-On" with Hot Money Flows
