Let me tell you mine even though you asked Ted. It is because of the determination shown by the Govt. to let this not fail. They feel pretty confident in the Govt. resolve and the ability after seeing its track record with the auto industry. They feel confident because the Govt. has shown that it is not on a witch hunt to prosecute those who have done what they have already done but instead in ensuring that this never happens again through measure such as the Dodd-Frank, the credit card rules etc. Just sit back and ask yourself if the country would see the better years it saw after Nixon if Ford decided to go after Nixon and thereby focused the nation's energies in a unproductive way. Instead he decided to move the nation forward.

>> Tell me your real opinion. I think the underlying fundamentals of the economy are as good now as it was in 2006... a house of cards built upon unsustainable stimulus. But with ZIRP being the Fed's policy and $1 trillion dollar deficits for the next decade, I will front run the oncoming inflation by holding real assets like everyone else is. I am sure that's what the poor people of this country are going.

Tell me your real opinion. All bullshit aside. Do you really believe the underlying fundamentals of the economy is why the stock market is rallying to such great heights? Or do you think it may have something to do with the literally trillions in liquidity being pumped into the global economy through all the QE by the Fed and ECB and Japan, as well as through the global synchronized currency devaluation that is occurring? Both. The rally in 2010 was more calibrated to the increased liquidity in the system. The current rally has more to do with the improvement in the underlying fundamentals and company balance sheets. Which do you think is more highly correlated to the stock market's recent performance? Give me your honest opinion The latter...........we're setting up right now to have a second Clinton second term..........assuming Obama gets re elected. If one of the R yahoos gets elected, we're screwed...........big time.
