>> master, booms and busts have been around centuries before AG, don't give ag too much credit or blame (although that last .5 hike was a doozy -ng-) he's a trend follower just like everybody else and sometimes get caught to long in the trend when it ends, like most.>> I remember when the first raises were announced. Some bright person on this thread pointed out that we had a control system here that is impossible because of the huge lag in the responses and the fact that you can't measure the effects until well after the fact. Therefore, the laws of physics tell us that it is only after they have gone too far that they will know when to reverse. It is like a pendulum, it always goes too far. There is nothing anyone can do about this, they try the best they can, but since they do not have 20/20 foresight, their job is extremely difficult. It has always been this way, and it will always be this way. It is up to us as investors to realize that fact and plan accordingly.
