pete, i'm trying to figure out the economic outlook and i'm having difficulty. financial assets are inflating beyond belief. there was a time not too long ago when pes and growth rate should pretty much match. now a pe of 40+ and growth rates of 10-15% are not unusual at all. real estate is also undergoing massive inflation. where i live real estate is up 10%-15% in three months and inventories are still low. this is the worst time to buy since '87.

however, everything else seems to be deflating - or at least staying the same. i'm not sure how this will end up - inflation, deflation or more of the same, but 2 out of 3 choices look very, very nasty.

appreciate everyone's input. why are homes and financial assets going up 10-15% in a few months, yet nobody else has any pricing power? can this last?
