Jay, you can help expand the money supply and economic activity and avoid the huge financial collapse by trading in cyberspace, abandoning the Aztecs and their 3D worldly gold to the stone age and industrial age where it belongs. Do it here: Message 16111020 Once there is sufficient 'cash' circulating, it need never re-enter 3D but can just circulate in cyberspace. Mqurice

>>The shifting positions of the front line US equity indices seem forever pinned at essentially the beginning of year level, despite the massive FED easing and the tax cut ...<< Why not say BECAUSE of FED easing?...The only result I see is, as you say yourself, ridiculous PEs - what kind of PE do you tag on a company losing money? -200 for Yahoo? Oh dont worry, we'll fix the numbers... There's a game we call Mikado (of course coming out of Japan), where you throw in the sticks and then try to pull them out of the heap one by one, without disturbing the eternal peace of the rest. This is what the world looks like - pull out Argentina? Go ahead, make my day, harharhar... Its a beautiful, blue-skies day here in Munich. Feels like going skiing even if its summer - its subconscious. Have another coffee and go do my ironing - my serotonin levels just cry for the gym. Re Japan and Japanese, I took my wife to eat sushi yesterday; - that's what one would call capitalism with human face. Otherwise, there's not much I can do about the Pacific rim situation. All the best to E'body. dj

Governments always seek breathing space. They do not like to give bad news. Hence the delays on unpopular mesures to cure the economies. Governments love to give good news. Even if the good news are false. The Public Relations men climbed the saddle and are riding mankind. The troubles that we witness in the economies today, were already latent in 1986. But we can always count in one abacadabra here, an abacadabra there and the news keep appearing to be good. A case in point: Germany's economies were in big trouble in the late 80's but the fall of the Berlin Wall provided a boost to Germany, Holland and other European economies. The Y2K case explained by John Shannon is another case in point to prop a sector to keep the good news coming. The present case is more serious because the world has ran out of ideas and ran out of feasible abracadabras. Either we get one or the collapse can really happen. I wonder if any abracadabra was concoted by the G8 in Genoa.
