The market acts like it's running out of gas doesn't it? But...TALF, TARP, cash for shacks stuff...end about March.
Without this stuff....implode.
And, 5 year option arms kick in heavy starting in May next year through 2011.
If the dollar keeps tanking....seems like we'll go up further.
Also....celente is looking for a terror trend in 2010. Things are getting shaky in Saudi, Iran, Pakistan.... that whole area....and they hate and blame the u.s. for everything.

The SOB's will hyper-inflate IMO....don't bet against it IMO....if the market starts selling....they'll print. IMHO, there's no way out....devalue. I think they will do it....but they want to blame it on something or someone else. It's not so much that they want stocks higher....they want the dollar lower, IMO. They did it before the collapse in 2006 - 2008....now they'll really do it, IMHO....new lows for the dollar, way down, way low. They might slow it down every now and then to screw with people, but the trend for the dollar is down....and the trend for stocks is up.
IMHO, it's over....this is what I think is the end game.
In my personal view....it's weimar....where's hitler?

skeeter, don't lose sight of the trend. It's very easy to remember america, capitalism, and the country we grew up in....it ended IMO when the u.s. financial system collapsed on Sept. 15th 2008 and when wall street walked into d.c. and took over and rewarded losers, and when they bottomed the SPX at 666....everything is different now, IMHO. You got 104 trillion? LOL. It's all been set up....secret congressional hearings in 2008....elites cashing out of clownbucks....elites have escape plans....stay focused....I know it's difficult. In my view, we passed the point of no return. In hyper-inflation....nothing goes down except your currency and your jobs....look familiar? It's the path we're on....I don't see how it can change now. This is how all empires fall and fail. They all try the same things....and then....war.

The Japanese always had 3 clear choices available to them: 1) Quietly bail out the banks by holding interest rates at zero and allowing the banks to borrow for nothing and invest in US treasuries -- in time they would be recapitalized this way, or; 2) Force the banks to mark their assets to market and call in the bad loans, or 3) Bail out the banks in the full light of day, knowing that they were bailing out a class of people that were either crooks or close to it.

They chose #1 for political reasons. The Japanese did not trust their government and would not approve bailing out the banks. For their part, the politicians could not abide #2 as they were deeply fearful of losing their bankrupt big corporate sugar daddies as well as facing the Japanese mafia who had become heavily invested in real estate.

It was a political coup in the US to get Congress to write a blank check for our banks -- and the way to get that done was to convince people that we were all about to die if there was no blank check written within 24 hours -- no need to think about it, just do it. The American financial elite learned this from Japan, where no bailout was ever possible because the Japanese public knew full-well how corrupt their system had become and they would not stand for a bailout. We not only bailed them out, but we watched them in the full light of day as they took wads of money and passed it around amongst themselves as their 'reward' for being not only too big to fail, but too powerful to even discipline or seriously challenge. We were raped and then sent the cleaning bill. And the reason why we should be thankful? We are told we should have been thankful because at least we were not killed while being raped. Naked greed. Naked power. Naked lies. But don't forget to thank them -- it could have been worse.
