I feel a move to the upside coming. This could simply be a relief rally based upon Greenspan comments being over; or, it could be too the staggering cash flow generated by the business enviroment overall. ! good luck !

Haim: The Federal Reserve is a privately owned centralized banking system sanctioned by the US government. It is operated as a business putting its OWN self-interest, first. Anyone that thinks or believes otherwise simple fits into the necessary belief pattern fostered so the majority of US citizens will continued to be deceived!

View the Fed in this context and it will be easier to discern its movements and understand the contrary policies.

I view the Bond and Equity markets as equally corrupt.

I will always owe a debt of gratitude to Richard Ney for the eye opener he gave me in the mid-eighties, before it was as obvious as it is today!

Regards,
LG

More Greenspeak:

"It would be imprudent ... to presume that the business cycle has been purged from market economies so long as human expectations are subject to bouts of euphoria and disillusionment."

This seems precisely right. In retrospect, Greenspam will be able to pull out some nice quotes (Chronicle of a death foretold).

The reason the housing prices are based on "rental" prices is because 90% of major american cities have some form of rent control which sharply limits the price that rents can be raised per year on an occupied unit.

Actual housing costs are up 50% in most markets.

>Now I would add to that that housing prices are not a part of the CPI or PPI calculation, but some archaic way of calculating rent equivalent based on mortgage rates and not the real market place.
