>>He said one of the reasons for his optimism was that the Fed had been pursuing a low rate policy for a long time.

"Monetary policy has been easy a long time," he said. "I've been quoted more than once in saying, it acts a little bit like vodka. You think it's not working, then it sneaks up on you."

A fiscal swing from large surpluses to large deficits, in part due to recent tax cuts, should also help, he said.

"I don't like deficits and I'd rather not have them over time, but if you're ever going to have one this is the time to have it," he said.<<

More Mish Houseshold Tips
How to catch a Racoon living under your front porch

1) Buy a racoon trap
2) Check for dents and do not ignore any. The racoon sprung the trap but one of the gates did not close properly and he esacped. Repair dents.
3) Bait the trap. The racoon steals the bait somehow.
4) Bait the trap. Try again. Unfortunately the same result.
5) Bait the trap. Try again. This time you are lucky. Sort of. It turns out to be a d*mn possum.
6) Bait the trap. The racoon steals the bait somehow.
7) Frustrated you just open the trap and let it sit. Tomorrow you will figure out where to put the bait to make sure the raccoon is caught.
8) Catch the raccoon in the trap with no bait in it.

As best as I can figure, do steps 1, 2, and 8 and forget the extra steps in the middle.

See MBI and the PMI cos today?

I sold MTG and RDN last week and the following day they ran a point against me. the same day I read Doug Kass loved them and I had second thoughts. Going against him more often than not has cost me money. then I thought, "WTF does he know?" <g>
