Go back and look at stocks on a longer term chart and you'll see that for the most part the TRENDS are lower on the left hand side - and higher on the right hand side of the chart. That trend (say the last 10 years) is what INVESTORS are looking for. Looked at this way - "opinions" - don't hold much water.
Now -- in the TREASURY market -- the FED has played a major role. They have been massive buyers - and that holds RATES DOWN. When they stop buying and let rates rise - then I'd say "hold on to your shorts" because the bottom "might/could" cause a lot of loss of face value. But that is an entirely different market - and most market participants should certainly be aware of this situation. Would the "spill over" affect other markets? That's just pure hypothesis and speculation.

I'd say that'd be a big yes.
I know how the trajectory goes in grand scheme. There are a lot of players that have barely regained what they've lost from 08. Factor in real world inflation though, that is the kick. Not saying you'll get hurt Greg, but others not as knowledge or insulated might.
At sometime I think the market will burst with this dollar ponzi scheme and the economy they are trying to prop up. But I hope it doesn't. It's just my depreciated .02 cents. You know I gotta pop in every few months and say that. lol Good luck out there.
