The idea that the market should be at "pre-Lehman" levels just because the Fed opened the money spigot and we're borrowing (AKA stealing from future generations) gobs of money to prop things up, with no acknowledgment of the terrible state of our economy and the suffocating debt load (that was being ignored pre-Lehman and is again being ignored); well that just pathetic and either disingenuous or downright stupid. This wasn't just a liquidity crunch that has abated. That was just the straw that broke the camel's back, finally. Talk about a simplistic and shallow notion/analysis.

We're now way passed 'fool me once', and 'fool me twice'. Three equity bubbles all based on euphoria and cheap money all inside of a decade? Really? Something reeks here. A falling dollar may feel fun for a while, but it's going to cross over at some point on the .DXY free fall into a huge capital flight from the U.S....haven't seen that movie before.

Following trend lines isn't the road to riches. If it were that easy we'd all be rich. If only it were so easy. Following trend lines isn’t the road to riches. If it were that easy we’d all be rich.
