So is this the Bartiromo Top in Manhattan housing? Like the Bartiromo Bottom in 2002 when she babbled about shorting stocks. What a genius investor.

The Japanese have had just about the right amount of inflation during recent years, ZERO percent. During their post-bubble era they have managed to emulate the gold standard as well as a fiat money system ever could. The US would do well to follow the Japanese example in monetary policy during...

A free market has no government intervention / regulation, and definitely no central bank. I'm not aware of any country nowadays without a central bank and extensive banking regulation, but the US in the 19th century was quite free. At least there was no central bank for most of the time. I...

I was wondering about this in the news forum... http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=avYkRibHRfDk&refer=home How is it possible that most Americans see a recession coming, but they are doing nothing about it? Not cutting spending, not selling stocks or their house. Why? What...

Where's the logic in the above? If the majority believes in slowing home sales (as well as a recession), how can they possibly believe their homes to hold their value? Either the people really are stupid, or this survey was designed to make them appear so.

Because he blames the free market. He seems to not understand that under a real free market there would be no government-controlled banking system, and thus no possibilities for such huge bubbles in housing and stocks.

So Americans expect a recession, but how do they prepare for it? By continuing to spend like there is no tomorrow?? :confused:

Roubini is an excellent economist but unfortunately doesn't fully understand the banking system and the Fed's role in this bubble.

Thanks. But I get only this... "The page you are trying to access is limited to viewing by U.S. residents only. If you are a U.S. resident, please log in with your CNBC.com user name." Unbelievable!

What time does this come? Available over the internet?

So, nothing happened. Just another piece of KGB disinformation.

Good question. I don't think such charts exist. At least I haven't found any.

So when 19 proved to be too much, just claim 20 then??? Ever heard of the word 'denial'? How low will profit growth have to fall before you accept the boom is over? Negative? And 'perfect landing' - just another permabullish mantra.

Only 18. And the streak is now over. Would this be the exit signal for the momentum trader? http://tickersense.typepad.com/ticker_sense/2007/04/earnings_growth.html

How do you define sound fundamentals? Most of the five you mentioned had moved up in the days prior to your post (unlike the indices). Wouldnt some rest be just normal then? Does the recent action change your opinion at all? (some have rallied)

:D Nice try. I sure could get much better odds for that bet in the options market. At least 10:1, perhaps even 100:1.

So are you, just in a different way. Anything but. I'm quite sure the situation has existed before. For example late 1920's and 1960's. Stock returns had been good, and bond yields were low.

Arnie, you are stating the arguments of the typical investor, who is backward-looking. Sure, 19 qtrs of double-digit growth sounds great. But Mr Hussman is looking forward, and is pointing out that when PAST returns have been so good, FUTURE returns for the LONG TERM are very unlikely to be good.

John Hussman has written an excellent article on the fair value of the stock market. He estimates the S&P 500 is now 75% overvalued, and would have to fall by about 60% to reach trough valuations. http://www.hussmanfunds.com/wmc/wmc070402.htm I am betting those trough valuations will be reached.
