LMAO! That was funny chit. Did you see this? mises.org <<<But the problem is that monetarists do not have a cycle theory. They do not see that deflation is an unavoidable consequence of an inflationary boom and that it paves the way for a healthy recovery by re-creating incentives to save and to invest in profitable projects. Extending inflation, on the other hand, extends the crisis and the cycle of mistakes. Moreover, inflating the money supply is no way to encourage banks to clean up their balance sheets when they are plagued by bad debt. The stability of the international financial system requires widespread reforms and especially a change of mentalities. DeRosa asks that stock exchanges remain largely unregulated. But that is not enough. Indeed, States are always intervening on financial markets, by modifying the cost of refinancing and especially by creating money artificially via open market operations. That is what creates bubbles and leads them to burst.>>

<<With 10 rate cuts so far this year, the Federal Reserve "has made it so that money is basically free" for many borrowers, said Art Bonnel, manager of the Bonnel Growth fund>> LOL! The dude who sang "Freedom's just another word for 'nothing left to lose'" knew what he was talking about!<NG> <<But the stock market typically looks ahead, and that is the biggest reason for the rally since Sept. 21, many analysts say. The stock market is foretelling an economic recovery next year, and with it a turnaround in depressed corporate earnings.>> Patron's note: This blather is starting to really pi$$ me off...if the market is such a deadly accurate forecasting machine, pray tell, what was it forecasting in March, 2000 when the NasDUNG traded at 5200?<NG>
