Nope. Stocks are 35% below their 2006 peak.
Deflation.
Again, a local overheating. Bummer has given his Rats lots of dollars and guess where they went. If you didn’t know that stocks took a horrible dive in 2008 (and this was before the Bummer debt) you could be pardoned for considering this anemic.
Oh, and some investment firms made out quite respectably, apparently without much gummit help, through the Bush dive and beyond. Pershing is one of them. How do I know? That’s where I put my IRA. Yes, I lucked out; I don’t consider myself a genius in picking investment firms.
