Ken, yep, last fall was the time to show some back-bone...i have wondered all year long why we never had a capitulation sell-off in the course of '99 and i believe the answer lies in the Fed's actions last fall. it basically assured the speculators that no matter what level of insanity they would drive the market towards, the Fed would always stand ready to bail them out in case anything went wrong. how quickly the lessons of history are forgotten....last year the banking system stepped in on the Fed's order to step up credit creation like never before, and in the course of this year the agencies did the dirty work. of course this means that once the bubble reaches it's limit and pops, the system will be riddled with bad loans, just like Japan's. and like the BoJ, the Fed will simply open the spigot even wider, pushing on a string. that way an ongoing long term depression and bear market will be absolutely assured.
the 'golden 90's' will be relegated to the realm of fond memories and will live on as an example for utter financial insanity in the history books.
does anybody think the government monitors these threads?
