What did I tell you? Now we just have to see if we can sustain it after this part of the war is over.

A few random thoughts:
--Financial markets ain't the economy.
--Financial markets are the pilot fish of an economy.
--Financial markets sometimes lead the economy, sometimes follow the ecoomy, sometimes clarify the economy, sometimes obscure the economy.
--Financial markets claim rationality, but in reality make use of a healthy dolop of emotion.
--Today's run up in financial markets are driven by emotion. Nothing in the economy has improved between yesterday and today.
--There are structural changes taking place in the economy which are not being measured by conventional economic measures.
--The economy is suffering the consequences of decisions made 10 to 15 years ago. A war today will not repair the damage caused by those decision.
--Congress will try to improve the ecomony by tweeking dials and flipping switches long since disconnected.
--We are beginning to see the outlines of what de-industrialization looks like in a developed economy.
--Islamofascist terrorists' target is the US economy. We are doing our best to make the terrorist's job easier.
--Tax policy is the air hose of the economy. Right now we have a 600 lb gorilla standing on the air hose and we're discussing adding another gorilla. Smart, really smart.

They don't claim rationality...but anyway, now that you have come to the realization that financial markets are irrational: You can make a piles of cash by using the inefficiencies to your favor.
