  4. Will you give me an update of your whole index, the holdings in it, not the prices you're in at. I know you expanded it from the original.
     
  5. So spending on debt is good? care to back up that logic? Lend me what ever pennies you got so I can spend it, I promise ill pay you back a million times what you gave me in a couple millenniums.
     
  6. Debt is fine as long as it is put to productive use. In the case of consumer spending, that's debatable. Wages are stagnating while the cost of living increases (ignoring the bogus official inflation figures). Folks are going further into debt to maintain the same standard of living.
