Agreed.... Also, you know I used to subscribe to John, but he rarely seemed to pull the trigger and I made virtually all my bear market moolah shorting way ahead of any short calls he made. I've have little trading respect for the guy other than I suppose he can save you money by keeping you out or in long term trends. That said, it's intersting how smart he sounds and how much sense he seem to make! :) DAK

Jim Willie, <<the interviewer was Ted David, who showed no depth he also seemed to show little interest in the fallout effects>> I would imagine that there is a CNBC policy to emphasize the positive and not dwell on the negative. Robert Shiller, author of "Irrational Exuberance", described how he has been cautioned about this before TV appearances. Any interviewer with a brain and a conscience would have a difficult time being part of such a lie. Regards, vt

From Sprott Asset Mgmt ...http://sprottassetmanagement.com/markets.asp " ... if the government keeps doing what is has been doing, the US will run a deficit of $480 billion this fiscal year. This does not assume any further fiscal stimulus. This does not assume any more tax cuts. This does not assume a war in Iraq. Simply, if Uncle Sam keeps playing the same ol’ tune, again and again for another eight months, then this will be the deficit. It’s that simple. Yet nobody before us has gone there. Shocking, isn’t it? It should be! Of course, if there is a fiscal stimulus package, and a war in Iraq, then even $480 billion will be overly optimistic. We’re then talking $600 billion plus."
