I am afraid our so called analysts and many day dreamers have lived on pink fumes for a long time.. but reality dictates that real "growth" stopped decades ago.

The big Daddy has done everything possible to prop up the the stock market.. If the mortgage finance bubble and economic maladjustment was not enough,the past seven years have seen the type of financial folly and egregious wealth redistribution that tear societies apart..

The results of money printing and Zero interstate rates have been poor to say the least,and this is where policy makers on both sides of the Atlantic have failed miserably.That is the reason the corporate earnings are down,while debt is on the rise.

Make no mistake....The big Daddy has less ammo to fight this time around.with interest rates stuck at near zero bound. Having said that, zero rates doesn't mean the fed has run out ammo,they can cut interest rates back to zero again and than take it to negative levels.

But the negative interest rates is not the answer to the problem. You can't fight fire with fire...This is why, years of policy mismanagement and the most imbalanced economy in history will now come home to roost.

I cannot honestly forecast how quickly the bust will unfold. I do,however, believe this process has begun as bubble and it start cracking at the core of the core.
