Regaining confidence will take time after people have been terrorized by sudden volatility.

Yet global markets are still over-priced, especially as interest rates rise. We know from past bubbles that increases and decreases in home prices have a significant impact on consumer spending but changes in the shares market has an impact at least 85% less.

Rising rates are long overdue for the retired. As confidence returns to the center, peripheral market like China will recover as well.

I wonder is eastern cultures lead people to rely on more often on soothsayers than western culture. Perhaps in eastern culture they people can be open about their reliance on "future tellers" - I don't know enough to be able to say.

Nothing but mildly up on the Dow futures so far.
