With all do respect I beg to differ on several counts.

<<Unemployment is going to get a lot worse. >>

Of course but you must be aware that unemployment is a lagging indicator.

<<. Deflation is showing its ugly head>>

although last months overall CPI dropped more than average one month does not make a trend and the core [ which is all that really matters ] has been on average keeping with recent years ....

<<. The torrents of liquidity opened up by the Fed have had no impact at all on the recession though they were released more than six months ago.>>

It takes 9 months to a year to have an effect or so I'm told....So at this stage we is gettin just what would be expected.

<<The blood will run >>

NASDAQ down some 70% top to bottom...If that ain't blood I don't know what is.

<<In my view, this optimism is not justified. >>

I hear lotsa this. it has become too popular as I said Thus I take the true contrarian view and go long.
