William, I also read the 58 year figure recently. I also read that 50% of Americans own stock. Consider the optimism this mania has generated. Just by payign down debt, many of these same folks could no doubt guarantee the equivalent of a TAX FREE return of 6-8%, 8-10% or even 16-18%, depending on the type of loan. Not good enough for us Americans. No sir. We want Agressive Growth. Options. Options on Options.....

Big Rally in Japanese Stocks these Past Days. Here's Why. Japan's "Bridge Bank" Plan "it makes sense to use public funds" biz.yahoo.com Cutting through the usual..., the idea here is to shift some losses from borrowers and/or lenders to the public, where it will at least be spread out and more tolerable. This how govts will always handle deflation. IMO, this is a suckers rally. Because the size of the losses--or capital missallocation if you prefer--is more than any fund or public can handle.
