<<you tell me how you reconcile these two events? you just said folks went out and spent a bundle in another post to me. now you are arguing people didn't do that.>>

I'm arguing that if home equity is not included in the "savings" measurment, then maybe it doesn't even matter.

<<i agree that the sole focus on savings i misplaced. we live in a complex world. there are MANY dynamics at work and the savings rate is only one. MASSIVE debt is another. UNSUSTAINABLE market valuations disconnected from the underlying economic fundamentals. the govt selling a lie. companies have free reign to mislead and misdirect at will. the masses love it. >>

agreed

Skeeter:

The shares that I shorted yesterday are slight;y under water. Although I am certain that Amazon's performance is fully sugar coated, I have to be concerned about the power of Bezos' hype. There are a lot of people who believe in Bezos, just witness Miller's 40 million shares. These blindly followers are the ones pushing the stock up regardless of fundamentals and might cause a short squeeze.
