Yes, we can. -g- Overall, the secular bear now lasted 9 years, and the previous secular bull 18 years. I would not be "end of the world" pessimistic, although with DOW/gold ratio at 7 it looks like one. Stocks will find a bottom eventually, and it's probably closer than the majority of the public thinks. Derivatives for sure led to enormous downside pressure. At this point the boat seems to be heavily tilted in the other direction due to those. However, the fact that LEH CDS settlement was not in the trillions probably demonstrates the boogey man is not quite as big as a few folks paint him to be or the notional numbers indicate, due to netting. Of course, nobody knows, not even JPM. Which makes it so scary -g- Here is Russ wallstreetexaminer.com "The mother of all buying opportunities? What does it mean when the Economist runs an article entitled the “Death of Manufacturing”." However: as the World Economy recovers due to the use of the printing presses, expect the dollar to decline a lot more, perhaps finding a bottom in the 50-s or 60-s and quite a bit of inflation. Gulp!
