>>I guess I am out of sync too. It seems to me, CL, that all those reasons you quoted are reasons for the dollar to be weaker (I don;t mean weaker in terms of other fiat but in terms of real things). But if the dollar is going to be weaker, things measured in dollars , such as productive and profitable businesses, are going to be more expensive when measured in those dollars. I guess what I am saying is that because things are not alright, stocks are a refuge.... a "safe haven". (But then I cannot understand why stocks got so cheap!).

CL, that is a great post. It paints the perfect picture. That is exactly the reality I see. I cannot understand it, but I see it-lol. Took a long bike ride this morning and then hit the wine-lol. Figured I earned it with the bike ride. 50's up here with light scattered showers. That is considered good weather up here-lol. Calgary lady: " I guess I am out of sync too. Problem is the fundamentals haven't changed. House prices still tanking. Billions still being spent in Iraq and the deficit is climbing. Fed is still printing money and inflation (the inflation that includes food and gas)is still running of of control. I am not sure which of those fundamentals has changed enough to make anyone think everything is going to be fine. If they continue to manipulate the numbers and use only the ones that make things look good they can all keep living in never never land but eventually everything still has to be dealt with and the longer they put that off the worse things are getting. I was listening to a show the other day and the analyst was saying that the government is hoping the people get out and spend the incentive cheques instead of paying down bills. Isn't that how this mess started .. by spending and not worrying about how things would be paid back.. :)"
