Quote from Petsamo:
You need to look at earnings of everyone, not just AAPL. Earnings today and the past few days have been good.
Corporations are sitting on $2 trillion of cash.
GS gave a recommendation of "stay fully invested".
In November, the Republicans are expected to make a decent comeback. Even if they don't take the House & Senate, their numbers will be sufficient for gridlock. Look at what it took to get an extension on unemployment benefits.
You can't just read the doom and gloomers. You have to read the other case also. From what I've read, the economy will be flat from here.

Earnings are a lagging indicator
Corporations are sitting on $2 trillion of cash.
Only fanning the flames of dis-inflation
GS gave a recommendation of "stay fully invested".
GS wants to short your stocks, they hate you

Republican agendas will be more austere than the Dems, keep this in mind

What you've "read" was "written" by the same motley crew of incompetent economists that didn't see any of the prior recessions until they were 3 months hence.
Here's the skinny:
Global economy is coming off of the stimulus-fueled crack rush of 2009-early 2010.
Another round of stimulus is what the junkie wants, but will the junkie get it? This....is....the....question.
Housing market still bleeding, post-op.
Bond yields whispering bad things.
Persistent U-Level will take many years to correct, and the job re-creation cycles have been getting longer and longer since the 80's.
Only shot at keeping us out of the other bar-ditch is Q.E. V.2.
