The market for MBAs does indeed tell you something about the direction of compensation. For Joe sixpack, wages have been depressed. But for Joe manager aka the newly minted MBA, its a six figure life style. There are roughly 100,000 new MBAs per year in the US -- a million in the past ten years. There are as many MBAs out there than there are toxic loans. Take away the 25% of the market that is multiple unit spec buying and take away those who actually can afford these ridiculous prices and you have a bubble, but not one of biblical proportions.

Marc Faber is expecting deflationary bust and is bearish on "everything": nzz.ch By printing money [US Federal Reserve chairmen] Alan Greenspan and Ben Bernanke have created bubbles all over the place that could lead to one volcanic eruption after the other. The end result is that you usually have to implement financial reforms that lead to a big time deflationary bust. I'm a believer that the markets will fluctuate and if you write the type of newsletter that I write then you can look at a whole range of assets across the world and be bullish some times and bearish at others. I'm bearish on everything right now.
