Zeev, do you know of any data addressing what, if any, inflationary influence has divorce had in America thea last +/- 12 - 15 years? I am saying this because at first I glance I would assume that since 50% of marriages end up in divorce, it stands to reason that +/- 40+ of households have a double whammy expenditures wise; you need to support two homes and two families. To that we add gas guzzling SUVs, higher energy and health, several cars. So middle America has to be overextended with home equity loans credit card loans etc. With 50%+ loss in Nasdaq which all Americans owned, Americans must be just making it from check to check it would seem to me. Thus any Fed rate cut will simply and probably go just to pay bills and debts. I doubt the consumer is going to go out and jump start the Economy as Alan and the pundits would like. Maybe this is why gold is finally going up. 10 years of deny and confuse I guess may be finally catching up. And all this is happening simply by printing a few extra bucks.....with the best of intentions may I say..... amazing....... TA
