I'm going to try and put up more pieces on the economy as Ogabe and the Obamunists flail away.<br /><br />Chuck,<br /><br />The market generally anticipates a turnaround by a few quarters but the rally that began in March appears to me to have been sheer manipulation. The demographic situation militates against economic growth at a rate above about 1.75% (exinflation) for the near and medium (out to 7 years) future.<br /><br />There is a possibility that Bernanke's appearance (which was taped the Wednesday before broadcast) was given to the WH shills early and that their morning appearances were scripted as "prequels". Bernanke would be wise to but some distance between himself and the Obamunists if he hopes to retain maximum influence with the rest of the Fed governors.Rick Ballardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11082425215912372067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16821859.post-27393334874666515452009-05-23T23:04:12.574-06:002009-05-23T23:04:12.574-06:00I agree with you that we aren't at the bottom yet....I agree with you that we aren't at the bottom yet. My own sense is that we are in a slow motion train wreak: unemployment heading up, some states effectively bankrupt, and a lot of money tossed into the air in the hope that the wind will carray it somewhere useful.<br /><br />I'm just hunkered down counting the years.chuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15164145672293455823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16821859.post-81921111973927111462009-05-23T17:29:33.312-06:002009-05-23T17:29:33.312-06:00Good to see you back Rick.
