I think everyone might be pleasantly surprised.
Quote from Rabbitone:
The article said the UAE would back the âin-countryâ banks foreign and domestic that have branches in Dubai from all of this bad debt of Dubai World. However, there are some âout-of-countryâ banks with no branches in Dubai that have still not been addressed even though they do not have as high a stake. But, this will temporarily keep bank stability from toppling the apple cart.
Iâm not sure the market will rally just because the banks have been covered. The net affect of this Dubai default may be more disastrous. Many European banks had been jumping over each other to give third world countries loans. Dubaiâs default may shut this loan pipeline down just as the world is recovering.

It will be interesting to see what happens tomorrow. I disagree with you strongly, but only the market will show us who is right.
I believe that we are in a new bubble built on the sand of cheap cash. The engine is revving but the wheels are spinning. If the global economy does get some real traction, as opposed to continuing to rev on cheap cash, the market will pull back.
Staying long now is placing a bet on traction kicking in before all the cheap money has been spent.
Personally, I don't like that bet. But I have been wrong many times before.

Dubai will put the screws to the debt holders now. This was all planned. It does shine a light on the health of the worldwide debt markets though.
