For the record; About the Over All Market..
This is part of a reply I sent in a Privet message.
-----------


While we are mostly on the same page, and I see a good
chance we have some more downside. I don't see things
getting really ugly for some time out.

------------
Productivity has even surprised GreenSpam..and it will
continue to improve for some time.

One reason the market got so over valued is State after
State has committed "retirement" money to the market..
Now Wall Street has the biggest & strongest Lobby in
Washinton..not even the oil Lobby can match them.

The Wall ST GANG has their eye on S.S. money and while
I'm against it taht don't mean shit. I do think by hook
or crook they will con the public into trying it.
For the con to work they can't let the market crash and
burn and will pull rabbits out of the hat like a
magician to hold the market up until after they get
most of the S.S. money.
---------

Then we have GreenSpam..he is doing something we haven't
done in my life time ( buying back Gov Bonds ) now this
is the primary reason the yeald curve inverted ..(and it's
a new reason ) as the Fed buys back Bonds it drives long
term rates down. Spam knows this..
----------

Before 2000 he increased the money supply to offset any 2000
rush on the banks..that shot the market up and had more
effect than his tightening.( he knew that would happen too)
Since then he has tightened money supply and that had
the effect of pulling the market down.
Well he wanted to let some air out of the market and
he has..BUT he don't want the market to crash and burn
on his last watch so if it gets too low he will inject money
again.

Wall Street has him in their pocket even if he
don't know it.
--------------------

The big ugly comes a few years after Wall Street gets S.S.
and Baby Boomers want to retire in mass.
Demographics will play the key role of when this ponzi
scam just can't get any more blood out of the system.
--------------------

Tax money has fed the market and in turn cap gains has
feed an artificial "surplus" as long as they can keep
spinning enough bull shit to keep the majority of the
public blind the market will have it's dips but go on
up.

I roughly picture things getting ugly about 2008
or 10..maybe a little sooner or later..but at any rate
2 to 3 yrs after they get the S.S. money or just about
6 mo or a year after the time every one is saying what a good idea that was.

PS we are due for a short term rally.
