"You'd find that an enormous number of companies included in 2000 went to zero and were liquidated. The weak were merged into other stronger companies. Only the strong survive in an index and this skews the measurement upward. No worldwide interventionist conspiracy is necessary." Sounds good,although I would add these enormous number of companies that went to zero took down many shareholders. Only those bond holders managed to save face. Amazing how the system works. The bond holders maintain integrity on the backs of Mom and Pop investors via the shares purchased. Then these bond boys get back together and decode where the next play is and on whose fertile grounds they will plant their seeds. There was indeed a massive FED injection of liquidity over these last four years. The implications of this injection has been obvious for some time. Question is,where do they go from here? Do you believe they will once again inevitably lower rates to effect a manually stimulant for further economic growth? And if so,how might this impact the dollar? The larger question,can we afford this? Payback is a bitch!
