GZ. I'm a bit brain dead this AM but if you are the author of that post. KUDOS. Even if you are not thanks for posting it. A few points. Not all perma bulls are blind to what is going on. The observation re the declining slope fits well with the shift in bell curve sectors. The observation jobs is spot on. The observations re the FED are correct. I'm not so sure it ends badly. I see a healthy correction that will catch many who bought too high that will have to sit and wait for things to turn up. That takes time. Time that others need to firm things up. Whether that time needed will be enough is the question. If it is, then off the retracement to the 1900's etc. If it isn't then our version of Japan. Again that's a great read and one I'll save. Thanks Fintas

This is akin to building a towering skyscraper on a foundation of PLAY-DOUGH. Sums it rather nicely, I might add... The only (I think) is nearly recession proof is the NG arena, as reduced energy costs are a necessity to pry more profitability out of revenues. I think that is an encouraging sign.. If there are any other areas where technology can lead to greater productivity, I would be interested in hearing about it. But right now this economy is lacking demand.. And that's due to lack of productive employment (not just make-work jobs).. People are still de-leveraging, and the ones who do have jobs seem to be making far less than before.. Hawk

At this point, it is not just the fed. Japan joined in 4 months ago and the EU said the same thing last week.

Just a couple of quick thoughts from the article: The Fed, along with the Bank of Japan and the ECB I might add, are determined to corral investors and herd them, unthinking like cattle, into equities; the goal being to create an atmosphere of general euphoria towards the economy boosting consumer confidence in the hopes of inducing them to take on more debt and spend. Not only "inducing them to take on more debt and spend", but inducing them to "vote democrat next year" to give the unqualified Obama more power to wage economic jihad against our country! The number of high school graduates here in the US each year is near 3.2 million. About 2/3 - 70% of them go on to college. And..... about 50% of all graduates or neither proficient at English or math. It's a sad commentary for our high schools, but a worse commentary about our colleges!
