>The last time we had real gridlock based on problems directly affecting the President was 1972-1974.< I'm not sure you can compare the two events. In '72-'74 we had Vietnam and the Cold War going on, plus we'd just gone through the Spiro Agnew debacle, so we had a crisis of confidence in both the No. 1 and No. 2 leaders of the nation. I don't think it's nearly as scary this time.

Don't underestimate the power of a significant turn in investor emotions, especially when we are in such a "can't loose" stock market. If we look at the graphs of the Dow and the S&P 500 over the last 6-month timeframe, we can see they have gone nowhere. I just wonder how long will the new "30% a year" investors put up with this kind of inactivity. Dipy.
