The 1st inning is not even over yet, Myth. You'll get a clue around Christmas, I suspect ... Who wants economic collapse, Myth? You don't really believe I want the economy to fall apart, do you? I kind of like working and being able to enjoy a reasonable standard of living just like the rest. I guess AGs just doing all these rate cuts because we needed a little tweaking here and there ... You would do well to think about the last sentence of your post and think about it deeply in a broader context: >> Hasn't happened yet in my life and I don't expect it to do so. << There are a lot of things that haven't happened yet in either of our lifetimes -- many things that appear to be the same, day-in, day-out as the world turns. To think that just because you haven't experienced something that it is unlikely or impossible or even that you can assess whether it is unlikely or not when it hasn't happened in your lifetime -- you set yourself up. The only constant is change. Some changes happen rapidly, too quick for us to realize until after the fact, some happen more slowly but we don't recognize them as they develop so they seem like rapid changes to us, some are so slow as to be imperceptible to most. I'm not saying I'm smarter than you -- I am saying that it is foolish to only extrapolate your past experiences. If crashes, financial collapses, are a thing of the past and you really believe that as a matter of principle -- share with us in an informed manner what has changed to usher in this new situation. Heck, I might be wrong ... Give us what you got.
