Two weeks of decline in West Texas Intermediate Crude, $WTIC, from November 8, 2010 price of 87.29 to Friday November 19, 2010 to 81.98 suggest that a debt deflationary bear market is underway in the oil market. For the last two weeks, the oil market has seen deflation, not inflation. With currency prices falling world wide, the top is in for oil. Support levels are lower at 82, 80 and 78.

The currency traders are conducting a global currency war. Peak currency wealth was achieved on November 5, 2010, as the Optimized Currency ETN, ICI, has fallen lower since has fallen lower since that time, as have all of the currencies listed below.

The chart of the small cap value shares relative to the small cap growth shares, RZV:RZG Daily, shows a November 19, 2010 close at 0.7879, down from November 4, 2010 high of 0.8047, providing evidence that debt deflationary is underway. Other evidence that debt deflation is underway is the rise in the S&P Mid Term Futures Volatility, VXZ, and the fall in Junk Bonds, JNK.

Global Debt Deflation commenced on April 26, 2010, when the value shares failed to outperform the growth shares, this was when the European Sovereign Debt Crisis started to emerge. It recommenced November 5, 2010 when the bond vigilantes sustained the Interest rate on the US Government Bond, $TYX, above 4%, and as the currency traders sold the major currencies, DBV, and emerging market currencies, CEW, causing the US Dollar, $USD, to rise.

Since November 5, 2010, debt deflation has come to commodities, DBC.

Since November 5, 2010 debt deflation has come to bonds, BND. Peak credit was achieved November 4, 2010.

And also, debt deflation has come to world stocks, ACWI, the S&P, SPY, the Russell 2000, IWM, the New York Composite, NYC. Peak stock wealth has been achieved November 4, 2010.

The end of profiting from investing long in the energy service companies, OIH, and Exxon Mobil, XOM, is done and over. The chart of the energy service companies shows a euphoric and manic, end-of-rally burst up.

The end of credit has commenced; this being seen in the fall of subprime automobile lender Nicholas Financial, NICK, Mastercard, MA, and American Express, AXP.

Those who went short the 200% ETF on November 5, 2010 have profited:
Oil, UCO + 13%
India, INDL + 19%
Real Estate, URE + 13%
Asia Excluding Japan, UXJ + 11%
Brazil, UBR + 10%
Emerging Markets, EET + 8%
Europe, UPV + 7%
Russell 2000, URTY + 6%

Personally, I'm invested in gold, as I believe a global financial system collapse is coming and hard assets like gold and silver will be in demand.
