May I interject here. What we have "is" normal. A lot of money chasing a product (stocks) in dwindling supply. From what I have garnered from my surfing many sites is that there are fewer stocks to buy. Even with slowing profit growth we will see higher stock prices as multiples grow. Also consider that computers, robotics, high tech in general has increased production/productivity. This has left many behind, i.e. the unemployed/underemployed. IMHO, this will continue. And remember that over supply causes a reduction in price. The "price"/cost of money in oversupply is interest paid. Interest rates will remain low for much longer than most think, IMHO. Now look back at the unemployed. Most are now off of the "dole" so how are they surviving? I imagine some will turn to crime, but most will become part of the cash/underground economy. It seems no one is willing to discuss this. Anyone care to speculate on how big this economy is?? Just some ramblings from an old guy that sees all of the above in everyday life. Thoughts? RDK.

But what is "normal?" The only constant for the markets for the short term is they seem to always change what works. For the long term, it tilts up and to the right when viewed on a 200 yr axis. The main constant in my life lately is MSFT, and anything has to deal with tech, seems to be screwing with me by making changes to what worked great for me and FORCING me to spend tons of time making what I relied on work again. Fracking pisses me off. I wrote my own backup program due to MSFT doing this back in the late 1980s.... it is too bad I didn't turn it into a company like BOX. I still rely on the creeps for secondary backup and the asswipes keep changing the programs and f'ing up my PC!
