Wage deflation for one. And insurance premiums (house, car, malpractice, you name it) are driving even doctors out of business. For those with short memories, yes, insurance premiums go up during wartime. What you are describing is stagflation.

<<<Yes, the public has run out of money to invest. Wage deflation for one. And insurance premiums (house, car, malpractice, you name it) are driving even doctors out of business.>>> Nothing in sight to move market up, bring in money. Vacations to pay for, then school. And all with the high price of transportation. Small bonuses and wage increases. Fierce competition ( HD vs Low) to keep prices and profits down and then the need to pay for some wage increases to keep employees. Fewer saving for the 401 k's and fewer people taking advantage of them People turning to the web where they can get the lowest cost item. Perhaps could find a very few progressive stocks, but the odds are too high for me. I never was good bear, so will just have to wait it out. Bush will probably win, and no way to tell if thats good or bad. That could stabilize the market a bit since there would be fewer changes, but where is the uppage? Sig
