DJ, a few months ago I read all that French printing of money and promises story. It's got nothing much to do with today's situation with our great hero, Alan Green$pan KBE, keeping the financial system humming. The relationship of the French fiat fraud with the US$ globalized financial system is the same as a naughty weekend is to marriage. One should not mistake one for the other. My official rant on the subject of the end of deflation here: Message 20045292 I have had my fingers crossed on this one for 5 or 6 years as the Biotelecosmictechdot.com irrational exuberance ballooned in the late 1990s and jfred and I have pondered the process. Other than the amplitude and period, it's gone just as I expected. Actually, the overall amplitude was about what I thought would happen, though I didn't realize the Nasdaq component of the stock markets was as over-pumped as it was [I hadn't studied many companies]. The Dow went to exactly the level I expected in the market clearing crunch, and it only got there thanks to the Twin Tower attacks. I didn't think the process would take 4 or 5 years though. I'd guessed more like 2 years. But I'm patient. Down with the doomsters! Mqurice

Hello DJ, <<the "just is" quote was especially entertaining. Your work is slowly paying dividends>> Thank you. <<Btw, you will eventually force me to download the French fraud for an evening of financial debauchery.>> I am glad that you will do so. The book is an absolute gem, I tell you. Exquisite, delicious, illuminating, and you should recommend the book to all your friends. It is too bad that CB does not feel up to the task of digging through musty archives and dusty books, as Greensputin also does not. Their minds are formed, solid, and beyond question, so beyond reason. I am guessing that Greensputin is setting up for an exit, after having patted himself on the should so many times recently, and so I am afraid we are at a top of an interim bear rally. I am distressed that our CB has seen fit to upset the chessboard, over turn the card table, taking the ball home, before it is dinner time. I was sure she was getting upset siliconinvestor.com But CB said siliconinvestor.com, <<No, not upset at all>>, so I believed her. I then asked CB a question, Message 20042242 , attaching a link that is germane to the asking of the question, and she responded I believe correctly Message 20042242 << No, that story happened the way it did because of fraud>> I was immediately concerned at CB’s correctness, and figured she must either be right, or wrong, or not have read the linked material. In any case, I wished to immortalize the linked material as a part of the original questioning post, and she then responds with Message 20043816 << Misrepresenting my argument is too slimy for me to continue the discussion, so I am putting you on Ignore>> instead of just admitting that she was careless, did not do as she implicitly claimed, or that she simply misunderstood what was basically a very simple question, or easier still, amend her response. Well, I am simply shocked, the sky looks dark today … oops, I forgot to remove my dark sunglasses. I am wondering whether in a court of law, one can use the arguments: “Judge, your honor, I did not read what I responded to”, or “Your honor, judge, I am going home, and I am taking the ball with me” Perhaps one day CB will reference this post Message 20042246 as an example of fine macro predictions. She is, after all, likely to be spot on in this case. Chugs, Jay
