Sure. If the government can pump the Dow up to 50,000, then much of the demand that's been lost from the housing collapse, will be replaced by demand from stockowners. Stockowners, who have seen their stocks stagnate in price, and only go down in terms of commodities, etc., over the past decade, could start going on shopping sprees again. High P/E ratios would make starting new businesses and IPO'ing them into the market attractive. Makes perfect sense. Because of rampant overcapacity, it certainly won't be housing that pulls us out of this recession/depression. Nor will it be bonds. Some sector, some asset class, will eventually emerge with leadership.
All government fiscal projections are based on fantasy, inevitably of the over optimistic kind. That why so many state pension systems are now in a deep, dark hole.
Gold and Silver , Gold and Silver Go together like a horse and carriage This I tell you brother You can't have one without the other Gold and Silver , Gold and Silver It's an institute you can't disparage Ask the local Federal Reserve And they will say it's elementary Try, try, try to separate them It's an illusion to print money Try, try, try, and you will only come To this conclusion!!
