Russ, You are so correct. I just wish for 2-3 months you could sit at my desk and see everything that passes for a loan request and that is invariably granted. I must follow the newly created underwriting standards (LOL) and heaven forbid if a loan was denied. Violation of the fair lending statutes. Credit to all, bring in your own wheelbarrow when requesting your loan though. All the borrowing consumers are doing is complete proof that the lemming effect is one of Newton's Laws. <g> Tom

Excellent post! Much to my surprise he boys continue to maintain control over the T-bond market which rallied strongly again this week despite signs of accelerating inflationary pressures. I would though that junk bond spreads are starting to widen again. We shall see if this is just a blip or the start of a new trend.

<<<3. The goal of the "economic policy"?: pray that a few more temporary and burger flipping jobs are created in the US to keep the markets fooled (remember it's quantity, not quality, that counts) long enough to get to the election. LOL. credit and collection jobs should be a growth area to bulk up the job numbers... however, given your "election" theory, aren't you a tad early in shorting the markets ?
