Chris,

I just had a thought. (a unique occurrence for me lately)

At some point the political pressure to keep borrowing costs down will exceed the political pressure to keep the bubble up.

A lot of corporations are heavily leveraged as a result of buying in shares with debt and doing acquisitions. Someone is also on the wrong end of this bond bear market.

When does bubble maintenance rate second best to deteriorating margins and the inability to buy in shares at sensible prices at current interest rates?

Chris, I agree that the indices will not stop at just 30% downside. IMHO, the game is very nearly over. Some of the leading scoundrels sitting at the tops of the pyramid schemes, like the AOL scamsters, are ready to cash in and head for the door.
