Quote from Spectre2007:
look at the volatility after all major crashes, and price patterns unless the market breaks to new lows, the market is purely consolidating for a move up based on inflationary tendencies ...print ..print.. inflate all asset classes. But throw in a deflationary spiral so you can fund your debts easier on a global scale, imagine what the market would be for US debt if a world wide deflationary spiral wasnt in place.
