Jim,

It is quite obvious that the markets are near bottom. Your prognostication that they will soon go up is about as clever as your claim that you conceived of the idea that MHz sells.

(preferably Gore will fade away like bad gas),
and the markets sniff that out,

Disgusting thought!
Excellent post--election has made it impossible to have a sustained rally from oversold condition. There is pent up demand out there and thats where the rally will come from when gore goes.

Jim, RE: The market decline and the election

In a report this morning, First Boston's quantitative market analyst figures that about 60% of the decline this year can be attributed to a decline in earnings expectations.

As for the remaining 40%, they don't enlighten us. Perhaps it's the election, perhaps it's something else, like economic uncertainty, fear of the Fed, sun spots, or the Subway Series indicator.

JMM: Thank you I agree. However once again the other AG has been 3 rate hikes behind this whole deal. The real concern has never been inflation it was and now looms very large as DEFLATION. The reason he AGreen) didn't start the other way last meeting was personal pride and embarrassment. Although he used the excuse of oil - we all know that oil in an info age economy is not what it used to be and that it really is more deflationary as a consumption tax than it is inflationary. The second AG is as big a fool as the first and we have been in the Emperor's new clothes mode as far as Greenspan's genius is concerned for 2 yrs now. It also irks me that AG will bail out the Brazilians the Russians and Long Term Capital App. Fund before he will bail out our own markets which are foundering badly here. As far as the concern for wage pressures are concerned, if I were a worker and couldn't expect modest wage increases yr to yr as you do on COLA adjusted welfare then I would sit home and watch TV. Productivity gains have been and continue to offset any wage increases that we have seen. If you want to see wage inflation just standby and look agog when America starts closing its factories and we have too many welfare dollars chasing too few goods. The Fed had better act fast to lower rates. I would suggest that they should do it with the same speed that they demonstrated when Long Term Cap. App. Fund was bailed out. JFD
