If GWB is downgraded a bit further, he'll break thru support at 70 years... and the sky's the limit then. BEARS WATCHING...

Interest rates might be at 1% by the end of the year if Goldman Sachs is right. That would put them at the lowest level since the Great Depression, 70 years ago!

Sherman, you know; amazingly the companies underlying the U.S. stock market may actually be collectively solvent. Just about. Here's why: According to Wilshire 5000 Index, the market's book value is currently 2.1 Trillion dollars. Now; a trillion of that certainly consists of goodwill, intangible assets and other usual U.S. accounting fluff. And in the news, efforts are afoot to drag into view hundreds of billions in debt hidden off balance sheets. Another solid U.S. tradition. You do the math. Surprised that financials are in t h e t a n k? Ergo and regards, BF
