based largely on "investor fears that governments and central banks are not doing enough to stimulate the world's economies." That's capitalism for you.

I think I made this exact point not that long ago that the danger of the Fed artificially boosting the market was that when there were concerns about them shutting off the spigot there would be a correction. The Fed propping up the stock market by buying bonds and keeping interest rates so low that equities are the only logical home for cash is not capitalism. Archie, you are so unbelievably economically illiterate it is almost ridiculous. It would be better not to have posted this and only thought of that way rather than posting and removing all doubt. I hope you were a better architect than you are an economist. All I can say is wow!

It is falling because bond rates are rising. Now the fed can artificially intervene to force a certain interest rate scenario but its only temporary. Every market will eventually seek its own level despite interventions. When you debase your currency you will ultimately have higher interest rates and inflation. Nobody knows when but it is a surety.

There's nothing new under the sun. Read a little history starting with the Roman Empire.

Reading history and actually learning something from it are antithetical to the liberal mindset. If they did that they would realize that socialism, even European style, has never worked and will never work. It is simply too devastating to their world view. It is why our current history courses in elementary, high school and college had to be written and approved by leftist historians. To tell the truth would be to educate the masses and that is not good for the success of liberalism in the marketplace.

By the way, I have been trying to read The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire by Gibbons for about two years and have yet to get through the first volume. I know it is the tour de force on the subject but his style is hard reading for me.

Drops some controversial post and then disappears back into the woodwork? In fact his last two posts have been anti-capitalist and pro-socialism which is very weird indeed. He has always been a left wing nut, big government type but he now seems to becoming a radical socialist. Wonder if his true colors are coming out or he is degenerating from failed leftism to even more failed socialism..........
