It seems that most investors have either forgotten or completely ignore the fact that banks hold hundreds of billions of dollars of toxic assets. These are assets that are valued on quarterly earnings at levels well above market-price. Even though bank executives were successful in pressuring regulators to changing accounting rules, they still hold the toxic assets. The financial crisis persists. The only factor that has changed is confidence. Investors and executives are more confident now - even though actual financial conditions have continued to deteriorate. It's simply a matter of time before the newfound confidence reverts back to panic and deflation.
