Hi Bob, I guess what you are saying is that the FED is engaging in brilliant financial engineering..... With a Global currency war going on and the when you consider that such low rates make it impossible for endowments, institutional investors, all of the pension systems to achieve the 7.5% to 8% long term returns that they have to pay for their structural costs over the long term... Individual investors where classically told that you should take your age say 50 and have 50% in equities and 50% in bonds..... and as you reach 65 years of age, one's equity exposure should have declined to 35%..... with bond yields being so low it is compelling people to move away from realistic asset allocation models. Plus the chance of a hyperinflation could well be developing........ Britain receiving a S&P debt downgrade is pointing out to us that things are not uniformly getting better. John ( if you could elaborate a bit on what financial engineering you are speaking of it would be insightful for me..... Thank you for talking about the markets...... JP)
