Funny, I thought we depended on the stock market to tell us what lies ahead. But I guess times have changed. Now Wall Street's "experts" forecast next year's economy, and they tell us that the stock market will advance as it gets in line with their economic forecasts……..
Wait a moment, the "experts" envision an "economic expansion" ahead, and therefore the stock market will rise as it gets in step with the expectations of the experts?
That which has always been accepted by everyone, everywhere, is almost certain to be false. Paul Valery

All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence; then success is sure.

There is nothing more demoralizing than a small but adequate income.

Nothing succeeds like the appearance of success.
Christopher Lasch
Businesses are producing same GDP as in 2007 with 7.5m fewer workers. That cannot last…" (Economist)

Average 3,3% real GDP growth is needed just to keep the unemployment rate stable. At 2,0% real growth, the jobless rate rises over 1% per year.
