>>I just don't see a big boom coming with these debt levels. Where is all of the demand going to come from? Not consumers...not real estate...where? As for the productivity - there is no productivity miracle, as I stated in my message that started this there have been larger jumps in productivty in US history so the current producivity gains are nothing unusual when looked at through the perspective of history<< Ok, mike, so when are the economy and the market going to start following your script?
