A yearly 10% haircut on wealth in the US would be just the thing for bringing home just how much the debt is. Could make that 95% on those responsible like Bush, Clinton, Obama etc. that would bring back some reality to the situation imo. A once great country brought to it's knees by it's useless leadership. Those sneeking off abroad perhaps a 100% !!
US Markets are at all Time Highs..What are you complaining about I think US leadership is Real smart......Fleecing the savings of Chinese and Japanese to Pay for the Lifestyle of its Citizens..Why complain about a good thing
Meredith Whitney has recently capitulated, saying she is now more "bullish on US stocks than at any time in her career". Bob Janjuah and Nouriel Roubini seem very quiet. Albert Edwards too is saying a lot less. Look at it this way: technically we have been in a secular bear market since 2000 (the March 2009 low was lower than the Oct 2002 low). Based on any historical bear market we need another leg down before the next bull market can start. But it could be different this time, right?
Where do you people get this stupid shit??? We have made a giant doubletop on the SPX, how does that a secular bear market for you? Oh yes, that pesty 100+% return in the last 4 years? Bear market for sur'....
You clearly don't understand the concept of bear market rallies ("dead cat bounces") which are far more rapid and dramatic than true bull markets. They also fizzle out rapidly and dramatically.. I assume your position is: market history is meaningless, because every situation is different?
