And finally, never underestimate the "power" of the biggest Bubble of the last century or more. Give me a couple trillion bucks out of thin air and an unlimited credit line at 1-2%, and I can create a hell of party in my image as well. At minimum at least I can paper over reality. I'm going to defend myself against perma bear status though. However when I started this particular site in the fall of 02, Subject 53273 at the beginning of this run (almost to the day), I never in my wildest imagination pictured where we are today on this craziness. One hell of a "tail"

Too funny! At first I thought you invented the entire 2nd half of the story (instead of just adding one line). Wow! I wonder what that author is smoking<g>? It is true that some people are perma-bears. Others (like myself) change with the times. Anyone with a basic understanding of economics can always find a reason the economy is in trouble. OTOH, economists like Greenspan are perma-bulls ... almost as useless as perma-bears, but they are right more often.

oh look! oh listen! that whizzing sound your 15 minutes....zooming by :) congrats are in order...(i think???) second lesson to be learned is to avoid spending too much time hanging out on the Prudent Bear Web site. [And specifically if you know what is good for you please stay away from one Mishedlo and two RussWinter, the former is predicting a return of the ice age and the latter says volcanoes will bury everyone in the hot fires of hell.] Bearishness is a way of life for some folks, an end in itself. Many economists and analysts, not to mention an odd mix of physicians and college professors who write to me (when they're not buying up gold), maintain an Armageddon forecast, month after month, year after year. All that changes is the reason for the looming disaster, once the previous excuse fails to pan out. atlas is shrugging at you, mish but you are getting your 15 minutes..... make it count! :)

Holy $hit, if that isn't a top marker, nothing is....she's whining about Prudent Bear?! There are a lot more "problems" out there that need exposing that that one, methinks. When a clown writing for a mainstream rag like Bloomberg writes something like this, the end is nigh.<NG> A second lesson to be learned is to avoid spending too much time hanging out on the Prudent Bear Web site.

Obviously some weak jobs numbers are going to be used to pump back up the bond market today. Stock market futures are being ramped up into the report, ensuring there are no shorts left in the DOW and SP prior to the news. We have a "system" to handle every economic problem Will the BLS release strong jobs numbers with oil about to go to new highs? NOT m
