sure- True, and that also means he's not buying the DOW stuff for the very same reasons. The point is, people are calling for a top because of a "bubble." Bubbles ALWAYS burst when the general public dives in = this "bubble" has a long way to go. Probably when housing finally turns = economy turns = savings up for Joe = he buys in = a blow off top. That's years away. Meantime the smart money will keep accumulating. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.

When they(the Fed aka the Boyz) start cutting rates as fast as they are now,and have before,they are availing easy credit,dollars,to the market which in turn avails that easy money to the retail(consumer). The last time they did this the bubble created was in real estate. Where,oh,where will the next bubble be? Granted this will NOT happen over night. It will take a couple of years. We have much to do to alleviate the debt derivatives created with the last insane financing easements. To think what will take place this time...,oh the possibilities!

Rogers is the Howard Ruff of the '70s and will likely end the same way Rogers has an extensive track record. What part of that track record supports or leads you to your conclusion? jpg

In the UK J6P news today. Gordon Brown's £300bn banking debt fear mirror.co.uk ===================================================== Gordon Brown's £300bn banking debt fear By Bob Roberts 24/03/2008 Related Articles More Top Stories What are you talking about? Get published News picturesBanks worldwide could be as much as £295billion in debt, Gordon Brown will warn this week. In a joint meeting with French President Nicolas Sarkozy, the Prime Minister will admit they are getting "increasingly concerned" about the world economy. And the pair will say the black hole of debt, causing the potentially explosive credit crunch, could be far worse than expected. It means more banks will be plunged into difficulty because they cannot get money to keep afloat. Savings could be threatened. Advertisement Businesses and families will also find it more difficult to get loans and mortgages. And it will mean firms closing, unemployment rising and property prices falling. Downing Street yesterday said the economy would top the agenda at this week's Anglo-French summit. A spokesman said: "They will call for greater transparency in financial markets. They will call for full and immediate disclosure of the scale of write-offs by banks. "They are increasingly concerned that confidence in financial markets is being affected by uncertainty over the scale of bad debts on banks' books with some estimates putting this at £295billion." Mr Brown believes because the bank debts are undisclosed the lack of knowledge is having a "destabilising" effect on the world economy. He wants banks to be more open rather than have bad news come out in a "piecemeal fashion". Meanwhile, in a major speech Tory leader David Cameron warns the cost of living is on the rise. He will claim the Budget meant an extra £110 of taxes a year for a family.
