Thanks for the response, I am also mulling over a more sickening yet bullish possibility for the market in which the continued printing of fiat money leads to a devalueing of the dollar. SInce the dollar becomes worth less, it takes more dollars to buy a stock of same "real" value thus an appearance of rising stock prices when in reality, it is only a static market with a constant need for more dollars to buy them.

The big question then is do you sell and your cash loses value unless you are in bonds that stay ahead of the depreciation of the dollar or buy a more stable foreign currency, or do you hold onto the high flyer stocks to try and stay ahead of the curve??? My first thought is that foreign money would flee to get out of the "dollar" base but since the US has been such a long term favorite of other countries, they may stay and hedge. I am not well versed in currency swaps nor do I understand all the ways that the complicated hedge spreads can offset obvious problems so I am not sure if I will ever finish this "thought".

Market is stabilizing, lunch hour games or a rally into the close coming????

Good Luck,

Lee
