enormous monetary stimulus is likely to be accompanied by increased government spending. Some will chime
in that inflationary policies during wartime can be good for equities. Well, explain then, why the Dow posted only

One reason I didn't vote for Bush was because I believed he would run up huge deficits which would
cause interest rates to rise and thus hurt stocks. Now, we have a war even if no one can find the
