Jay, good morning. Every day there is a LOT of clearing. Today, there was vast buying of shares and clearing of markets. Billions of dollars changed hands in housing, loans, goods and services and employment, clearing the markets and rebalancing positions. Financial gravity exerts a steady, relentless, irresistible force and as you say, we are coming in for a landing, but note that it is a landing, overall, not a deflationary implosion [though individual mileage will vary and some have been and will be roadkill].
