The issue of wealth creation is a key to getting out of our current situation. Let's say - pick one of our favorites - SD - announces a huge oil find tomorrow and the stock doubles. The only losers in this would be shorts who - imo since they were voting on misfortune - deserve to be screwed. This would be a huge creation of wealth in the terms of share appreciation. With the share appreciation one would have collateral from which to borrow and hence participate in the growth of the money supply. Let us say some other event takes place - say a destructive politician changes his policies - and the market soars. Again - wealth would be created and the benefits would flow. One does not have to sell shares to realize wealth. It all gets down to the argument of zero sum economics. A dear lefty friend here in Cleveland has been very difficult to convince that markets are not a zero sum game. If one believes for each winner there is a loser - one does not care about creating more winners. IMO we need more winners. The creation of winners does not require another to lose. Bob
