a market thats moving higher during a election period, with systemic underpinnings not really there. The economy is being maintained at current levels by never ending debt. As long as the government chooses to pump trillions of dollars to support the economy the pain is just put off.
there are no jobs, and the jobs that are there are being maintained by artificial stimulus. The derivatives bubble popped, so its been extremely hard to ignite the market.
massive stimulus can ignite it but only on inflationary course. When enough money is pumped in, the money supply will eventually trickle down and drive a inflationary spiral.
currency values will deteriorate. Its all occurring in a slow motion in terms of the large timescales involved in these cycles.
