This high frequency stuff causes crashes of individual stocks, so I read. It takes a few seconds. I wonder if the next crash will take a few seconds. -g

That chart shows more clearly than anything else could how hopelessly inflated equities are. Up till now I have not paid much attention to comparisons with the Weimar Republic, let alone Zimbabwe. But what we see there shows with perfect clarity how the expansion of the Fed's balance sheet and the spending commitments of Congress have raised the prices of most stocks to unrealstic levels never seen before. I don't know if there was a stock market functioning in Richmond shortly before the Battle of Gettysburg, but if there was, the P/Es might have been similar. At least a banana republic exports bananas. We export money.
