Of cousre its not gonna work out this way. We are going to bounce along sideways just like Japan did for the last 20 years. and the price of commodities will RISE the entire time. So each person will pay a higher and higher percentage of his wages buying neccesities and have less and less for extra's. The standard of living will slowly decline in the 1st world nations and will slowly rise in the 3rd world nations..
Japan's stock mkt is down 70% from its highs back in t the 80's.
what you're forgetting is the Wall St traders have the power with their unlimited sums of USD's to create VOLATILITY. they do this to create alternating cycles of optimism and then fear. this forces investors to do things they don't want to do such as buy at the highs or sell at the lows. this is how you strip ppls money. we're now coming off a high of extreme optimism (you!) and they will take this market down until you puke up your shares at rock bottom prices.
lol when did I ever say I was an optomist..
I think that the market will go sideways. The Federal Goverment won't let it drop very far or else there will be rioting in the streets. round after round of QE to prop up the markets will drive commodity prices up.
I'm only optomistic in the sense that I think things will be fucked up enuf that QE forever will be neccesary to maintain the illusion of the status quo.
