Interesting Grace we are the masters of technology but we have to reduce costs and we are appears reducing costs in the pockets of the Nation by decreasing jobs. At the same time in Ca we are increasing the value of property because there is high demand for said we are also increasing the price of electricity which accounts for why a house that cost less due to area costs more to live in. We have to find labor elsewhere but the savings on that labor must pay for the labor we have here. We also expect the labor from else where to pay for the products whose corporate costs are in our dollar and there of the price paid elsewhere must be adequate to maintain corporate development and expenses here. As we shift employment to a less costly area the area we live in being so costly requires that our service industry income is sufficient to live where the service is. Growth how in blazes can you grow when expansion that requires you invest a huge amount just for facilities demands that inflation continue so you can profit. If then you consider that you are attempting to be a global market player too how can you sell anything but a bubble if you can't make it cost worthy to some one else. There of it is difficult for us now more so as we are the main stream mulligan stew of the world. I suppose it has it's advantages and there are numerous people here who can return to elsewhere as costs here to build have become very high in comparison to other area's. I would of preferred a demolition derby to the soft landing that is taking place. At least when you demolish it you build it better on the way up. The horizon is endless and universal.

Historically the short interest expands until it reaches a peak with price and then declines with price. Much of the short interest is structural which means it's related to hedging activity and so may not be so well-correlated with price. A hedge is usually somewhat price indifferent, but if the time wasting component fully wastes due to boring, the short interest would decline without commensurate decline in price. In the past the only event that could get significant short covering to occur in a short period of time was some unusual FED action. The FED has pumped continuously one way or the other since 1994. They've worn out their relevance. It's hard to imagine any FED action which would encourage a significant short covering. It's hard to imagine any action at all which would. Short interest would decline if we had a protracted period of low volatility, low activity, gradually declining, stock market. Such a period would drive away speculation, ruin discounters dependent on turnover, disenchant the retirement obsessed public, and take the stock market through a period of extended boring. Few believe in this scenario. It seems to fit the structural factors in place now though and denies COLLAPSE.
