Does This Commodity Rally Rely on QE3.....QE4?

At this point traders and investors alike realize that any near term rally in commodities and equities relies fully on the U.S. governments continued printing of money. QE 2, QE 3.....QE 4? But any real long term support of the world economy will be coming from Chinas recent and future increasing import and export numbers. The strong readings should trigger the Chinese government to continue stepping up tightening measures and a rate hike is imminent. This is just one reason our fund has patiently held a position in the Chinese Yuan using ETF....CYB. We have never favored putting our faith in communist governments with our investment strategies but we believe this is one bubble the Chinese cannot control forever. And the Chinese currency will eventually have to be allowed to inflate.
