<As I stated before, a higher savings rate isn't directly related to stock prices. Proof is in Japan. They have a far higher savings rate and their stock market has been in the toilet for ten years. Americans chose to "save" their money by investing it in the markets. Americans have been far less risk averse than the Japanese have been for the last ten years. >

Yes, good point... that AND the fact that the Japanese society just doesn't put up with layoffs and such like the U.S. and you've got a worse situation than I thought:

Folks who saved nothing, who WILL get layed off much easier & quicker than over there, and who have all their money in the market...

I've pushed my "Rip van Winkle" wake up and buy the S&P date back another 3 years... and moved my sell limits on my gold stocks up another 500%.
