Re: Mo Markets

Read somewhere that it has been calculated that each 40 billion monthly check from Ben adds about 20 points to the SPX. Not to mention the rest of the deficit spending, which is another 90 billion or so. It is no longer obvious to what extent today's markets are still connected to economic realities. But (IMO) it is likely that without all this generous printing the indexes would be lower than in 2009. We'll never know. But then, who knows - we may yet be surprised. The last couple of Bears, since 2000, were able to overwhelm the printing - at least for a period of time, enough for a big decline.
