I agree that everyone’s boat will sink under these conditions. The point I was trying to make was that our economy is going to grow even more slowly as more and more people (of all classes) will have less dollars to spend. I won't get into the debate which economic class’ spending ability is more elastic then the others. ; )

I am in the process of reading an article about this. It's old but I missed it a few years back.

Hey, did you trade in and out of Apple yesterday?

Another very interesting if not surprising article:

lol!   Wyatt & I were just talking about it. He asked me if I bot in at today's opening price and I told I did --but I'd made that purchase last month!   Some people are good at reading minute by minute signs but I'm not one of them.  I'm happy w/ week to week signals and a 2.9% gain in 3 weeks means a 67% annualized return.
