"This is an interesting development, for unemployment (real unemployment that is) is still rampant. The federal government is effectively funding and financing deficit state unemployment rolls (see below for more detail). With record bankruptcies, deleveraging consumers, and rampant unemployment combined with drastic drops in consumer expenditures, guess what retail stocks are doing??? Yep, you guessed it." (Going up)

Ken, see what I've been talking about? Stocks have been going up when they should be going down.

Of course, when things don't make sense, they don't make sense.

I have been a very good investor over the years and owe my wealth to that, not medicine.

Only a fool would be going "all in" in the market now. I would expect liberals, who feel everything is fine, to invest all thier life savings in the market now.

Not now.... 2009

I think that the current market prices are just plain unsustainable.

This is a bad picture. Up the interest rates and we are in deep do do.

At this point I'd be about 1/5 to 1/2 in gold. That is just me tho. Price gold the way it was in 1980 and it would be at $7,000 per OZ. I think that it is price it in GDP/OZ of gold reserves or something like that. Or the total world supply of gold or something like that. I forget exactly. But there is a significant up side to gold currently. China is buying gold.
