The rally might be running out of fuel. All the cash that run in to the market is slowly exhausted. Remember that in September lots of cash went in to the bonds and then the very same cash propelled the market to recovery in October and December. (Indecisive money managers - is this good for the market?) In January rest of the cash sitting on the sideline went in and the year-end bonuses moved us to the new highs. The question is where will the cash come from to move us higher? There is a lot outstanding IRS bills to be paid. Knowing the mentality of today's market most people keep that money in stocks instead having it ready in their checking account. The scary part of this mania is that a good economy can be turned in to a disaster not because of business excesses but because of paper speculation. Just like in September there is no room for error. Any spark will ignite fire. Just look at IBM and INTC Better then expected results and the stocks got hammered. People be careful don't let the greed to blind you. Don't assume that what you have in your margin account today will be there tomorrow.

Rob S. -- Lets look at the overall market for a moment -- Hoow much liquidity should we expect -- this is a liquidity driven market. Q. What happened to tank the market into October? A. A liquidity squeeze of global proportions. Q. What happened to turn the market around? A. Courtesy AG, money supply has been exploding. Q. Why has that not created inflation? A. Check your charts, it is in the stock market. Q. Why is that a problem? A. We are in a bubble -- and AMZN, a worthless piece of hype, is the poster boy for the bubble. Q. What is the outlook for the bubble? A. Look to China. Q. Will China devalue? A. Yes, but not because of speculators. Q. Then why? A. To head off civil unrest. Q. What happens next? A. Nobody knows -- look to Japan -- Japan will have to inflate to avert financial collapse. Q. And AG? A. AG will have to pop the bubble -- target AMZN.
