Bart, you are completely wrong. ... Enjoy yourself with that data that you think are incontrovertible facts. The best thing I can say is that I hope you don't lose too much during the various periods to come when you find out more of the truth.

Hussman and Succo would both agree I think. In fact Hussman did an article on what little the Fed is in control of. When credit growth heads south, the Fed will not be in control of that either. The Fed can foster an environment that encourages or discourages credit but the market may or may not go along in terms of LT rates. Besides fostering that environment is not the same as enforcing or mandating it. If consumers stop spending and businesses stop borrowing there is not much the Fed can do about it. Nor can the Fed stop bankruptcies on homes, consumers, or businesses. Mish
