Zeev, Do you not consider the demographics of the aging boomers in this at all? If the boomers suffer from premature aversion to risk, i think we are in serious trouble. I initially viewed the bubble burst as a temporary setback. But its severity imo may lead us into the negative demographics much earlier than previously believed(2008-2015). That is why imo it is essential for the govt/fed to fix the markets now at all costs. I will reverse a previously held position and say that SS trust funds should be invested conservatively in the markets as are the pension funds of the states. Also cap losses available in any given year should be adjusted for inflation, going back to the date the $3,000 cap was put in place. Double taxation of dividends should end tomorrow. Capital gain holding period for LT should be shortened to 6 months. Also encourage capex spending with tax incentives. How to pay for it? Cut spending wherever possible and adjust the tax cuts but dont be fixated on deficits for the next year or two. Sell war bonds. Same with inflation--benign neglect for a year or two. Some or all of these ideas are a necessary gamble i believe. Mike
