Well now that the housing crash is a done deal we need to decide what's coming next. I think the recession/ depression is going to be a drawn out affair. Commodities have had a bit of a run here but I don't think the prices will hold. The American consumer is going to take awhile to return to spending money with wild abandon. Small cap stocks have had a good move from their March lows. That's very much like the market acted after the '73-74 bear. Small caps did well for several years while the broader market languished.
