You guys are missing that housing is collapsing in parts of this country. We have home prices down 40-50% from the 2005 top and our leaders don't want this to spread much further especially to the most vulnerable overpriced gateway cities of NYC, Boston, DC, LA,San Francisco.. Just debase enough and save the day.

So is the government in the process of starting another bubble? What is the government buying now? What is the next trick/bubble? I am sure in the background the strategy is to find another market to inflate. Would selling military equipment to the middle east and other parts of the world be the next boom? Is the government selling Iraqi oil in secret at $80 a barrel? Not sure. I am keeping my eyes open for the next bubble.

TNX yields were around 5.25% when the Dow peaked at 14,000. Today despite a sharp jump TNX yields are just 4.5% even though the Dow has recovered about two/thirds of its loss. So TNX yields plunge when stocks tank but climb only modestly when stocks rebound. This game is rigged in favor of the bulls and hedge funds IMHO.

Markets take time to top out......roll over. What I read here today is so hyped out and speculative. Dollar going to crash, stocks going to run 20%....... Currencies are beasts and very hard to predict, ask any currency trader. Right now we are seeing a working off of the oversold into another Options Window. Nothing more as of today. Also today a big holiday for many on Wall Street, the New Year. So this rally means not much for now. Lets see what happens in the days ahead. This is a news driven market, we have had no news. Most likely tons being hidden off balance sheet. Semiconductors and Small Caps parked today. Very narrow rally. West
