shortie:
Nice poll idea.
You coverd several bases.
to round out the matter and add the key reason, look to two things going on and getting up to speed.
Bank regulators will begin to focus on the workarounds (providing manditory rule sets in addition to fines that could be applied to correcting past criminal activities)
Legislation that will be set in place to replace and prevent the past financial industry "creativity" that precipitated this Depression.
A lot of large shoes have to fall and we have to reach the point where the foves in the chicken coop have eaten all the chickens.
It Technical terms, we need to have the RTL of the Depression locked in as as RTL becoms tangent to the inverted saucer being processed. This is the outer boundary of the Econometrics of the Depression.
Doing QE's only goes so far when the nation is in the trouble it is in.
Naturally, the perpetual political campaign will keep throwing any and everything at the walls to see what sticks. The corporate structure and its priorities do not include making the nation healthy. Roughly speaking no one works on that anymore.
After the tangent is completed, both declining volume and volatility will be convergent. At some point, the Bull retrace of this Bear Depression agian takes hold and it will be with a vengnece. The fight to preserve resouces then ensues.
As you look at the international situation, you see self determination is becoming a priority. It WILL reach the U. S. in time.
At some point people will say that Apple can't divide it work force as it does. A million people have their jobs overseas from Apple policy. It is NOT a "unionization" movement; it is simply not correct to buy products that are not using US talent to make those products.
When resource preservation finally hits, then it when the MAJOR period of capital "evaporation" will occur. This will end about 10 to 12 years out.
